15 Week Old Silkie- Cockerel or Pullet?

[SelesteC8]

Hey all! I’m sooo curious to see what you think my silkie is now that it’s grown up quite a bit! I always thought it was a cockerel, but now I’m not so sure. The crest is very poofy, but the tail feathers and neck feathers seem long, so I’m still suspecting cockerel. The last pic I tried to show how long the tail feathers are. Thoughts? Thanks!

Hen!

Hen!

You really think so even with the longer feathers!? I will be so happy if it’s a hen!!!

Yes, I am most certain. The shape of her crest and her stance is a sure sign

Without seeing a close up of the comb, I can’t say for sure. But from the pics provided it looks female.

Here’s some close ups of the comb. What do you think?

I think Pullet because of age and no comb development, but i'm not an expert lol

I just posted pictures of her comb close up in another reply below. What do you think about the comb?
