10 week silkie roo or hen

[KosmosEP]

Hey guys. I know silkies are really hard to sex at young age but wanted to ask your opinion on the gender of this 10 week old silkie. I’m thinking I’m seeing steamer feathers on the head to indicate a roo.

It is too early for streamers. The comb looks pretty small, so I think it will probably be a pullet. But you won't know for sure for quite a while longer.

You definitely need to wait another 2 months or so to be able to tell. Even then you may not be able to tell.

Looks like a pullet for now. Update pics later...

Agree, looks like a pullet. Too early to be certain. Silkies will trick you.

Agreed that it looks like a pullet for now. Updated pics in a few weeks would be helpful.

Ima say it’s a girl but you never know

If this is partridge, I’m going to say girl. If this is black with leakage, it’s a boy. Do you know what the parent colors were?
