silkie sexing

[mom-to-5]

I had posted a while back and just wanted an updated opinion. I swore this one was a pullet, but then in the last two weeks????
The comb is developing quickly and I'm seeing very small wattles, both a returning red. He/she seems to be standing tall in the photos because I was making a clicking sound trying to get her to look at me. So, is my pullet maturing or is she a he??

I forgot to add that the silkie is 21 weeks old, was hatched from an egg I got from a BYC breeder.

@mom-to-5 I remember guessing this one was a pullet and Im so sad to say I think I was wrong.

Im pretty sure you have a boy.

@ashtree no need to be sorry. It's a learning curve for me and this is part of it. Litterally, in just this last week the silkie took a big change. I thought I would see something sooner than 21 weeks if it was a HE....but, I guess I'll just wait for a crow. I live within city limits and can't have a roo

It doesn't totally break my heart as this silkie really isn't overly friendly as we had hoped it would be.

Doing some early gender guesses so my kids name them. right now I am just comparing combs against each other and we shall see in a few months if I am right.

So far I think this one is a boy, comb rounded at top and slightly raised. will be 4 weeks monday


So far I think girl on this one. comb is more pointed at top and flat. will be 4 weeks tomorrow


I also think this one is a girl. pointed flatter comb. will be 4 weeks on sunday


Pretty sure this one is a boy. rounded comb top and kinda bumpy already. turned 3 weeks yesterday.
crossing my fingers for only 1-2 boys since we only have a trio right now and I only have room for 1 more rooster.

It's official, I have a roo. he was trying to mount my NN hen this morning. Still no crowing though.

This is snowball, I'm not sure of the gender, so I thought I could get some help, if its a boy then ill have to rename it

Bought a couple of days ago as a silkie "hen" I have never owned silkies before but I have my doubts whether she is actually a HE!! Any help appreciated
