I have this blue Silkie that I’m wondering about, it is bigger then the other one I have who is black. What do y’all think? @Overo Mare @LadiesAndJane @TheOddOneOut

Any help is greatly appreciated, thank you ☺️

I would say cockerel
Not an expert but those curly tail feathers and streaks of color
Those things only reaa add log show on the cockerels
Silkies are so hard!!!!
 
Actually this bird looks female to me so far. No real male indicators yet. I don’t see actual streamers just an uneven crest. The comb looks quite flat still.
I think you’ll have to wait this one out a few more weeks!
A full on side view photo of the bird freestanding showing its entire body may be helpful.
Photo of a similar aged pullet as an example of how the photo should look.
If you look closely she has streamers but they are not long.
😊

Definitely thinking the blue is a cockerel, he stands a lot taller then the little black pullet (pretty sure it’s a hen). He has a uneven crest, but it’s hard to see in the pics
