I am very confused on the sex of this bird, I feel like it looks like a cockerel, but the color makes me think it's a pullet. Also, he/she is the same size as my confirmed cockerel. Both are 11 weeks or so. I was reading a thread earlier about colors and now I am completely confused...my hens are very sleek and streamline, so....this one looks different.Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am expecting some silkie hatching eggs soon and I would like to make room in my coop if I have a few roosters.
