The Big Fat Is This A Rooster? Thread

Two roosters, sorry! You can see sickle and hackle feathers developing.

I've gotten most of my Silkies sexed definately - one young lady adoped an abused chick, one young man started mating with hens, etc. But this one?

Seems to have some comb/wattles like a roo, but behavior and carriage more hen-like. I give you Smaug, The Fluffy and Adorable:

Thank you!

Raven is a BA and 15 weeks old. No crowing, but sure looks roostery to my newbie eyes.

What do y'all think?
Thanks.

That Australorp is a roo, sorry!

Ok, so Raven is a roo. What about the above Welsummer? Also 15 weeks. No crowing.

Your newbie eyes are correct, I think. My Australorp had very little going on in the comb/confidence/plumage department until she was 20 weeks. Handsome fellah.

Seems so obvious now that there is some confirmation. Denial is powerful! Ha ha
