8 week Black Sizzle Silkie - Does Copper in Hackles say Rooster?

[backyardchicks]

I have an 8 week Black Sizzle Silkie. It has started to develop copper in its hackle feathers. Does this mean that it is a rooster?

No that does not indicate a rooster. Females can get gold leakage too.

 

[Brahma Chicken5000]

It doesn’t indicate that it’s a cockerel.

 

[drumstick diva]

does not indicate gender

 

[Crazy for Chickens!]

Nope.

Post pics of the comb, crest, and saddle at 12 weeks.
