Another silkie gender question

[Winniethesilkie]

5 months old. I thought roo, but it doesnt crow. I have 2 other roosters the same age crowing. Now im unsure..

I'm also leaning cockerel. It's not crowing because the other two are crowing, he's the non dominant rooster.

If there’s more then one rooster in a flock, one will always establish dominance. The others will just go on chickening, and probably won’t crow. He’s very pretty

@MysteryChicken what are your thoughts? I'm leaning roo

 

[MysteryChicken]

He's a cockerel 100%.

He's a cockerel 100%.

Ha you don't say, I'm ACTUALLY starting to understand the difference! I'm going to say the blame is yours

Question? I understand how to determine gender of more obvious breeds/possible malnourished roosters, but silkies or polish chickens seem a little harder. Can anyone share any tips?

This is perfect for you @MysteryChicken I know I'm definitely keeping notes

Is there an age range, you'd want details for sexing?

I would just like to know how to sex silkie chickens of any age? I’m generally curious.
