6 month old silkie - hen or roo

[kimberliegbisho]

hi all silkie experts! I have a 6 month old black silkie that I thought was a pullet, but my husband thinks he may have heard a crow from “her” a few days ago
Would love some opinions! She had splay legs when she hatched and my kids rehabbed her, and named her “Split-sie”

Looks like a pullet to me.

It looks like a Cockerel to me, but I'm no Silkie Expert.

I'd say pullet.

I vote pullet. The comb is small, the crest rounded without streamers.

Pullet

Splitsie could still be a cockerel. In the first picture I'd have said pullet, but the last picture, that stance, and the hackles instead of fuzz on the neck leading to crest. Check for wattles.

Very beautiful!

Pics of closer in on their face - I don’t see any wattles but I’ve never seen a silkie rooster up close.

Still looks like a girl to me! I would expect a bit more comb and wattle in a boy.
