10 week old silkie roo? Still waiting on the cock-a-doodle-doo!

Ok everyone! He is 10 weeks old now. Cockerel or pullet? I still think cockerel based on comb, but no cock-a-doodle from him yet.

Mine crowed around 5 months.
Side picture could help. Silkies are harder to tell the gender of compared to normal breeds.

Definitely cockerel, some roosters take forever to crow. my BO didn't crow til 4 months old.

Also, the first crow is not a “cock-a-doodle-doo” more like a dying party horn that got ran over by a car. (It clears up a lot after a while, or mine is anyway. But that first few, yikes.)

Thank you! I will keep an ear out for the broken party bus horn

I think so too! His tail feathers are not as “silkie” as his sister. Hers look like a little cotton puff and and his look like baby rooster feathers. He is also very bossy and steals snacks from the girls!

Yep, cockerel.
