11 Week Old Silkie Gender?

[Bubblesunrise]

Hello!
I have two baby Silkies and this is my first time raising them on my own! I live in town (previously raised in country with my family) and so I can’t keep roosters.

This little chick is 11 weeks old and has really bamboozled me. I have another one I am pretty sure is a hen and I know Silkies are super difficult to sex at a young age.

I have suspected this one is a roo but I’m not sure because they are very skittish and doesn’t exude any of the typical rooster behaviors that I’ve seen. Their neck is fuzzier than my suspected hen and their feet are less hairy.

Any ideas?

Silkie sexing is an enigma wrapped in a riddle. What do the combs look like?

There isn’t much of a comb, but it is up much higher than my other 11 week silkie. I hope this photo is clearer

Hello! Adorable silkie.

First off, silkie sexing is very, very difficult. I say with no exaggeration. when sexing silkies (bearded especially) your usually better off waiting til one crows or lays an egg.

My guess is a rooster. Mine was a little curious coward, and was extremely skittish.
