    Silkie Expert needed! 9 week old- roo or hen?

    Well. The one that crowed... rooster The others I would have to say hens. They don't look like the roo. The pics are hard to tell by due to size. My partridge is 12 weeks old. Today I saw color (green) in the tail feathers and I said definitively " Matrix, you're a rooster". The wattles...
