I added a pic I just took, at the beginning. Now I'm starting to think Baby looks roo-ish.

With great disappointment, I just discovered that my two rescued white silkie chicks are cockerels - they were singing a duet this a.m. Anybody need a sweet, love to be cuddled, bonded pair-o-cockerels?

Now for "Baby", my frizzle-gene carrying blue chick that was hatched by my black Ameraucana, Sarah on June 25.

The stance looks boyish. The head looks girlish. But I would say it is a bit early to tell if there will be streamers on the back of the head or not( boy give away). I have a white silkie who looks very girlish and is about a month older than this one, but I am still leaning towards boy because of the attitude.( In this case I am hopeing for a boy. Good luck.

Are all the pics of the same bird?

If so, from the stance, I would say a boy. especially from looking at the middle pic

I think its a boy too by the stance and also the size of the comb at not even 3 months old yet. If the legs are thick, its a boy.
