15 week silkie gender

[Katejc]

So this little thing is a 15 week old silkie we hatched from our two silkie male and female. Dad is a mess of a breed with the straight comb and the leakage and mom looks a bit better. I think its a boy but curious to know what other say as well. It has the dads straight comb but there has been no comb growth a long time. There are no wattles I can see but apart from that it looks like a boy!

The silkie looks like a cockerel to me.

 

[EmmaRainboe]

Put my vote down for cockerel. But silkies can be tricky.

 

[Quaicken108]

I’m thinking cockerel but I could be wrong.

 

[Katejc]

This is dad. Same wonky comb. Mom is in the background, no idea what she has done to her hair but has somehow gotten in wet in a fully enclosed coop

 

[Matilda Belle]

That’s a tough one. This one could really go either way.

 

[Rhodebar Lover]

I think cockerel

 

[LadiesAndJane]

I am undecided at this point.
Pretty bird either way.
