6-7 month old silkie

[18awesomechickens]

I have a 6-7 month old silkie and I have no idea if they are a boy or a girl. Don't look like a girl bit also don't look like any of my roosters. All the others of their hatch have started crowing. No comb or wattle development like the others the same age.

Pullet. A cockerel that age would be showing more comb.

At 7 months that's a pullet.

Ah okay. Her brothers have bigger combs but she does appear to have streamers like they do? I've thought she was a boy for a couple weeks but now I've been going back and forth about whether she's a girl or not.

I'm not an expert but I'm pretty sure there would be more comb growth on a male.

Yeah he was the only one that was a possible pullet. He's big and beautiful now.. and crowing.
