    Can you help me ID my roo?

    I’m just super curious … This is Mean Bean, he is 1 yr and 4 months old (I’ve had him since he was 2 days old).

    Well…what is he/she?

    Hen or Roo? I feel like this is an obvious rooster but I’d like others opinions. It’s my silkie hens first and only surprise hatched baby, named Sola, meaning only in Latin! I can’t keep if it’s a roo, so hoping someone with better knowledge than me can tell me it’s a hen 😂
