Re: Silkie Experts!!! Sexing emergency!!!
how old are they?
can you get a pic of them at eye level from the side.
I learned the hard way that long legs is a boy... short legs can be either.
and until at least 2 months you are guessing... no matter what kind of expert you are.

The reason why they are sticking their necks out is because my camera shutter sound is a chicken clucking. lol

Re: Silkie Experts!!! Sexing emergency!!!
At 5 months I would say they are definitely pullets!
The combs are small... no signs of streamers and short legs... besides... at 5 months they would have crowed if they were roos! (at least mine was crowing at 3 1/2 months)
They are beautiful!

Re: Silkie Experts!!! Sexing emergency!!!
Here's a pic of my non bearded roo at 15 weeks old....
Yours don't appear to be too leggy, and I don't see any streamers coming off the head, I'm still going with 2 pullets.
