16 week old silke

[Sunshine0235]

Any guesses? I know these guys are ridiculously hard to sex but guesses?









Really hoping its a pullet, otherwise I don't have anywhere for it. If its a pullet, I can at least squeeze it it with one of my breeding pens, cause the eggs will look different.

Looks like a pullet to me. I dont see streamers...looks more of a pullet than my silkie. Mine too is 16 weeks and boy does she is starting to look like a he! Although her temperment is soft and no crowing yet, her comb and wattles are scaring me right now!
What do you think?
Pullet or cockerel???

If 5-6-7 are the same bird - definite cockerel.

SUNSHINE would it be possible to tie the crest up with a rubber band or something - just long enough to get a picture of exposed comb. I am thinking pullet but need to see what is under all those feathers, before I am positive.

Thanks for the input. But I still have my doubts on my silkies gender. I had a GLW cockerel and they never buttes heads... In fact this silkie falls at the lowest ranking even to my confirmed pullets... I guess it s never confirmed until you see an egg!

Yeah I can tomorrow when its light out. I've been checking it, and its almost nothing.

No expert, but it looks like a hen to me. Hope she is

Sunshine, i am not as experienced as others, but at this stage, your silkie looks very pullet!
