What gender are these baby silkies?

[Ahernaa8045]

My silkie hen had her chicks about 12 weeks ago, and I still do not know if these little silkie babies are hens or roosters. I cannot keep anymore roosters, so I am hoping they’re all hens (fingers crossed). Could anyone that may be better at telling the sex of a silkie, tell me what gender these babies are?

I have one black one, and two brown ones. I numbered the pictures so you all know which chick is which. Please let me know if you have any idea! Also, let me know if I have to retake pictures.

for silkies, you can’t tell til they are laying or crowing, they are one of my favorite breeds, I have one silkie left

If I had to say…
1. Rooster
2. Hen
But don’t take that as a true fact.

None look like obvious cockerels to me.

What type of chicken breeds have you had? I’m just curious, silkies are one of the hardest to find out.

I've had many breeds, never Silkies though. I do know they're hard to sex, but I'm confident in my guess, none of them are obviously cockerels. I'm not saying they're for sure pullets, but their combs are quite small and flat still.

Yes I agree with that, but the photo labeled #1 looks close to my silkie rooster Bruno, to the person asking the question, TBD is the answer.

I agree with the others 1 looks like a cockerel ans the others pullets. Silkies are tricky to sex for sure

That's interesting - silkies are plentiful in Australia and New Zealand.
