    Are they all cockerels? (7-8 wk old silkies)

    This batch was kind of a mess. I think 2 had an extra toe, 1 has a single comb and the buff has a pink comb. I'm planning on maybe selling them for cheaper soon. I just want to make sure they're all cockerels, so that I wouldn't accidentally mislabele them. Also is the brownish one a buff? He...

    PLEASE help me sex these Silkie "hens"

    I have 3 silkies we got off of someone 4 hours away. We were hoping they would be hens because that's what we were told but now I'm not so sure. This isn't the first time we ended up with roosters after being promised hens so I'm pretty upset wondering and wondering if they are male or female...
