This little guy was around 12 - 13 weeks when this was taken. That said, it is crazy hard to tell! My hen seems to have pointy saddle feathers to me so I can’t judge on that. Anyway, that is my 2 cents from someone who knows nothing but has a few silkies. 😃
Hi,
What a pretty little bird 😍.
At that age my silkie roos had bigger combs and little streamers. I can really only make my best guess about sexing them by looking at the BACK of the head. I am going to look for pics at the same age….
What sweet photos. So very sorry for your loss. As I mentioned in another comment I lost Flower, my sweet Polish hen 2 weeks ago. Some people say oh it’s just a chicken. But it’s not. Not to people who love their chickens like pets. Sending ❤️ to you!
Sending you ❤️. My black and white Polish disappeared 2 weeks ago and she was one my favorites. Polish are the best! Heartbroken. We couldn’t figure it out but then found a piece of broken Dig Defense so something came in and got her, and you know they are easy to sneak up on with those big...

Hi. I found some more pix of Pumpkin at around 13 weeks (her face is not starting to redden yet). I have some 8 day old chicks (supposed to be female) and one has no tail feathers and I keep trying to figure out if he is a boy. So hard to wait to truly know.
I am a newbie so my opinion is uneducated but your chicken looks a lot like my Wyandotte hen (gold-laced) at the same age when I look at feathering.
I am attaching pix of my girl (Pumpkin) who was about 14.5 weeks at the time and was starting to get some reddening in her wattles and comb. She...
