They are still too young to tell but I do wonder if LeeLee doesn't have the beginnings of a comb. I hope they are both hens for you. Fingers crossed

Thank you! I hope we get the results tomorrow! :-)
Yeah really no combs forming. Leelee is around 9 weeks (white one)
Audra (black one) is a week and a half or two older.
Hmm!

I know nothing about silkies so no opinion on their gender, just curious how much does a chicken DNA test cost?
