Gender of silkie

[Star627]

I was wondering if anyone has any experience with Silkies who could possibly tell me if I have a hen or a rooster?

That is a cute bird!! Difficult to tell from the photo: the comb looks wide, but a side shot of the head would help. There's a silkie sexing thread - might be a good place to post?

Haha, I feel like it can't see anything! Haha! Thanks for your info!

I've never had a silkie but a lot of members do. From what I've read, they are notoriously difficult to sex until they either crow or lay. You might find some help on the silkie thread:

Welcome to the BYC flock! We are glad you joined us!

Unfortunately, I do not know much about sexing silkies, but it sounds like those who do think you have a pullet. Hope that's what you wanted.

Now that I've clicked on the photo, I think it's a pullet too, very pretty one

Can't see it well enough to guess, even after enlarging it. Bird needs to be shown face forward, pushing back the crest would help immensely.
