Hi everyone! I know it's a bit early when it comes to silkies but can someone tell me if my silkie looks like a rooster or a hen? I am almost completly sure she is a pullet since she is so skitish and always hiding behind out little orpington rooster she also stands low compared to my previous silkies who all three turned out to be roosters. So I am hopefull this one will be a hen.
Here's some photos of her/him.
Thanks for the help!

I hope it's not a cockerel because I got three silkie chicks last year and they all ended up being roosters I'll be doing a DNA test next week so I will know for sure, I'll let you know!

Here's some photos of my silkie chick, "she" is now 8 weeks old! I should receive the DNA test result this week! The comb hasn't raise and is looking more "V" shape to me so let's cross our fingers
