I know silkies are the hardest to sex but can anyone tell me if they think hen or roo?

The comb seems fairly well developed for 8 weeks, so I am going with cockerel for this one.

All silkies have walnut combs. However they are very difficult to sex so we compare comb size to age. If you post some pictures we could help you sex them. But yes larger comb means cockerel and smaller means pullet.
