    My Silkie chicken just laid ann egg

    Hello all, so I have 1 silkie chicken which just laid an egg. Does that mean that it is a hen chicken? I have been told that roosters can lay eggs also? My chicken was sold to me as "unknown sex", but I have heard it crowing (I think it was crowing) on a few occassions.
