8 week old Silkie Hen or Roo

[LadiesAndJane]

@LadiesAndJane after searching through countless threads for sexing silkies, I see you have great insight . What are your thoughts?

Sorry, I’m not on the site much these days due to time constraints and work obligations. This one’s looking female to me so far. This though can quickly change at around 14-15 weeks of age. Good luck.

Note hens can have larger combs too but they're usually only a little bump

Thank you so much for responding! I appreciate it. I’ll definitely be updating as our little silkie gets older.

That’s good to know! I’m checking the comb every day to see any changes

I'm never good at silkies but still looks male to me.
