16-18 week old Silkie - Is 'he' a 'she'?

Diff a cockerel, girls have a more circular pom pom, boys hair grows backwards x

Are you basing that guess on the pictures in the first post or on her most recent pictures? She's about 6 months old now, and if she were a boy, I would have thought she'd be more masculine by now..?

She's a pullet, what a beautiful Silkie!

Def a pretty pretty girl!

I see a lot of similarity between my hens face and Margaret's.

 

[SilkiesForEver]

Yep. She is a HEN.

Wow, okay... well moving on from the past page's debate, I believe I have confirmation now that Margaret is a girl! She's begun squatting!! Her comb and wattles are getting larger as well, so I'm thinking it won't be long before she lays her first egg!

Thank you all for your assurances when I was going through my yearly 'rooster paranoia' with this poor little lady! (And Fancychooklady, your hen is beautiful! )

She's definitely a she. For sure. 100%

Thanks, I'm 100% sure as well at this point.
