3-4 week silkie gender

Maybe I've just gotten super lucky, but I could tell you that was a cockerel from the first photo. All of my silkies so far have followed this rule & they develop fairly early... makes have a u shaped comb, while females have a v shaped comb. This little pullet is about 5 weeks & you can see the very defined v, as I can definitely see the u on your guy.

Looks like a pullet right now, it appears as that one may have a single comb 😊
