My silkies are now 9 weeks old and I still can't tell hens from roosters. When will I be able to tell the difference?

My cornish rocks that are the same age are easy to tell apart.

My oldest showed Silkies for years. In a few more weeks you will start to see the combs change. They are great to raise, very sweet birds.
