10 week silkie I need guesses on.

I'm thinking male and I have to start selling or rehoming a couple this week, possibly next. This is the same chick in each photo and my only silkie so I have nothing to compare.

I can't be positive, but it does look like it could be a rooster. Silkies can take a while before you can be certain.

That's a wide comb for a silkie , I'd guess it is a male also.

Thank you. I have a gut feeling. LAst night on another site/post many people said they swore they had a boy then out popped an egg. Sneaky little things

Sillies are notorious for being hard to sex.

Yes, sometimes you have to wait for an egg or crow.

 

[poppycock1974]

stinkers. At least if it starts crowing my neighbors won't say anything before I have a chance to rehome it.

I think it's big too but I've never seen a female other than photos and that's not easy. It popped like that over a 2 day period. Wattles are still tiny tiny but I'm sure they'll pop too.

I am doing good even if it is a male. I had to get 6 chicks out of the bin at TSC and if it's male that makes 2 boys and 4 girls. I am keeping 3 girls and if this puffball ends up a boy that makes things easy
