4 1/2 Month old silkie. Is it too early to tell??? **pic**

These two are the same age but I know for sure that the one on right is a roo because it tries to mount the others... So what do you think???

I think rooster.

Very handsome.

What do you think now that I posted the pic of the silkie roo the same age???

Both Roos.

I'm guessing the one on the left a girl, right a male... And no I'm not trying to confuse...

Just my opinion, course a side view of it would really help.

Both Roosters

The only real clue on the lefthand bird is the size of the comb, and some hens have large combs. Do you have a profile photo so we can look for streamers?

I am leaning towards cockerel, though.

What are streamers & a profile pic???

 

[Amy's Animals]

streamers are long thin feathers that randomly stick out the back head and tail and the look like they "stream" behind the roo as if they are in the wind hence the name "streamers". The one of the right is definitly a roo, and I'm guessing the one on the left is a pullet altough the comb is a little on the large size, time will tell for sure.

I see lovely mulberry colored combs. I had a black Silkie roo that looked like these guys. My vote : boys.
