14 Week Cockerel?

[Better Than Rubies]

Yes, the comb size makes me think it should be a cockerel, but the feathers all still seem more feminine, at least to my none too experienced eye. And the comb still looks like a dark color...that seems to point towards pullet, supposedly (unless I'm wrong on that info)? I'm sure even a hard-to-sex young occasional silkie girl could develop a larger comb pretty fast (or a big comb in general, though probably less common).

UPDATE
My white silkie turned out to be a rooster. He is 20 weeks now. It was evident when he started crowing at 18 weeks. It's so funny listening to him try to crow. It sounds like a boy going through puberty! LOL.....

Aww. What a handsome guy. Are you still going to keep him? And thanks for the update! I've always wondered about what gender the birds in these types of threads ended up being.

That's why it's best to wait for the crow or egg Had me thinking, feathering looks pullet but that comb is a cockerel ... Handsome one at that.
