3 week old silkie- Pullet or Roo?

[PippinTheChicken]

This is Blue- (s)He will be 3 weeks old tomorrow. (S)He lives with his 2 older siblings (3 wks old today) but I have an idea of what Blue's siblings genders are- a pair. But Blue baffles me- pullet or roo?

Too young, silkies need to wait for a crow or an egg

It's too early to know for sure, and Silkies are often difficult to sex. Best to give it more time and evaluate when the bird is 7 weeks old or so.

Blue's siblings' genders are easy to tell- their behavior screams boy and girl... Blue seems like a bit of both his/her siblings' behavior

I really hope so! Blue was a Helped-Hatch and the little miracle chick! I don't want to have to give him/her away (town rooster bans ).

Yeah, I know the feeling! We used to have the sweetest chick, who turned out to be a rooster and we had to give him away, even though he was the sweetest thing!
