Boy or Girl - 6 week old silkie. Please help

Lady of McCamley said:

Probably male due to the amount of comb...but 6 weeks is way to early to call a Silkie.

Also, to determine sex in a Silkie, the stance is important, so post photos of full profile later when the bird is around 3 months of age.

Female Silkies sit lower, squattier, and have a more rounded look.

Male Silkies stand higher, are lankier.

Males tend to have mohawks while females have pompoms for crests.

Females have small combs and no wattles, males will have a larger comb and may have some wattle.

But they have to have time to mature first and can change appearance as they grow.
