Awww! Cute little fuzzies! As for sexing them: most pullets will grow tail feathers earlier than the little roosters so if you have both you may be able to tell as they feather out. Do Silkies even have tail feathers? As near-adults the males have hair-dos that are more swept back than the females... That's all I know about Silkies. Good luck!
