Silkie Rooster?

[MartinsPoultry]

My fiance bought me two young Silkies as pullets for me this summer and looking at one of them their comb is going a mulberry color and has gotten larger than the other one.
These are Bantam non-TSC Silkies I had one from TSC and he was as large as my standard sized chickens.

The lighter Silkie looks like a cockerel to me, he seems to have a few pointed saddle feathers. No crows or eggs yet?

I also think the lighter silkie is a cockerel but look for streamers coming out of the crest when it is fully formed that’s a sure indicator of a silkie cockerel.

No crows or eggs yet.

He looks to have a big comb as well- cockerel - how old?

 

[MartinsPoultry]

My guess a few months old maybe 5-6 never got the hatch day from the breeder

Looks like you've got a pair. The lighter one is the male.

thats awesome. Hoping he is a sweetheart once his hormones kick in. Right now he is in with my OEGBs 1 is a rooster, a bunch of young cornish 5/6 are cockerels and cuckoo marans 2/5 are cockerels so lets hope he will be well balanced, and a bunch of young Guinea fowl who are about 2 weeks away from a mass move into adult flock.
Large breeds will be moved once they are either freezer weight or large enough for adult flock.

He crowed or tried to this morning yay! Sounds like he is dieing though but with practice he will get better.
