13.5 weeks, Silkie? Sex?

[skillswife]

This is Jack, he/she was the mystery chick in our order from MM. Silkie I think? Blue skin. Pretty bright blue ear lobe coloring. Hoping for hen but I have nothing to compare it too, lol.

I got a white silkie also from MM free chick! Mine is about 11 weeks old and its comb is no where near that big or waddles!..Sorry i think its a rooo! BUT ITS a very pretty chicken

Thats kind of what I was thinking, the feathers came in similar to my bantam cochin roos but I know silkies are supposed to be hard to sex.

Im gonna say roo, because i have one of three that looks exactly like this guy, maybe mine are a couple weeks older? No waddles on the other two, they are all the same age as eachother.

Any other thoughts?

Ok thanks He is my moms favorite, has been since they arrived from MM and she was determined Jack was a hen, lol. But we are keeping him anyhow so it doesn't make too much difference.
