I got two straight run Silkie/cochin chicks, they are now around 9 weeks old. I’m guessing they’re both hens but I could be way off haha and Id like other opinions!

Usually silkies can't be sexed until they are 4-5 months old but since this is a mix, it might be doable. I just wouldn't be able to but just guessing the one in the left picture looks like a roo, and the other like a hen to me. :hmm
