    Is this Silkie Bantam Chick 12 weeks a roo?

    Sorry for the bad quality of these but hopefully it helps sex he/she. They had said it's a pullet, so maybe I was just panicking when I saw the single comb but there are very little waddles.

    This 12 week old Silkie was sexed as a pullet and sold to me but pretty sure it's a roo. Its got streamers I think and a single comb (not the typical comb) plus acts a bit like a roo, always walking around while the other pullets sun bathe and not paying down with them.

    Is this Silkie Bantam Chick 12 weeks a roo?

    I was sold this chick 3 days ago as a pullet. But upon research I noticed he has streamers and a single comb that is pretty big! It's a roo right?

    Crooked beak??? In 12 week old Silkie

    I actually just had the same experience with one of my chicks, who is almost 7 weeks. I love this chick and it spend so much time on my lap as well. As it looked at me I noticed its top beak was slightly to the side. I did a lot of research and scissor beak or cross beak is not something you...

    Thank you so so much! I was hoping and thinking maybe they were pullets! means so much that others may think so too. I was so worried the cross beak chick would be a roo and I what his fate would be at the farm. Phew! Fingers crossed we are right! I will update with photos :) xox
