Beardless Silkies get wattles. It's pretty much all I raise is beardless. I do have a few Bearded though.I lean that's going cockerel. It could be genes, but wow, never saw wattles like that on a silkie pullet, and looks like hackles coming in, but then again, it's got the round puffy vault, not messy like a cockerel.
It's just guessing here, so I'd give it another couple of weeks, and it should be definitive.
