8 week old Silkie Hen or Roo

[Star428]

Just about 11 weeks
Current thoughts on Ziggy?

At 11 weeks my roo had more comb growth and had a different voice than the other hens

I haven’t noticed any different sounds from Ziggy but the comb definitely has not changed.

Update! A little over 12 weeks old now! Thoughts?

I'm thinking girl now but I'm terrible with silkies

I’m trying to get a better pic! But this is Ziggy from today.

I’m pretty sure I already know the answer but I’m wanting to confirm my suspicions. These are Ziggy’s male streamers coming in right?

Definitely starting to look male to me now!

Agreed

So the verdict is roo, right?
We take him back tomorrow to switch him out for a pullet of either another silkie they have or another breed.
