Silkie/bantam and silkie/blue legged beauty mixes

[Mizzrscott]

I have hatched several chicks from my silkie rooster and his ladies. I have pictures of moms and dad along with the chicks, is it possible to sex them? Some are 3 weeks old and some are 1 day old. This is for fun of course because many have homes and I'm planning on keeping the other Chicks. Happy to upload photos and advise which mom they belong to if it'll help. Photos attached are all the moms and proud Papa! Thank you!

Silkies are difficult to sex and you usually cants tell until they are at least 8 weeks old.

Yes I know they're difficult I just hoped with some having a blue bantam Andalusian mom and some having banded moms, sexing would be a little easier. Thank you for looking thought it's been fun to just to hatch and watch em grow regardless of gender.

This one looks like a cockerel. That's a lot of comb for one so young.

That's what I thought this morning when I saw that beautiful comb! I hope he has the same disposition as his father!
