any early predictions?? silkie

[MNmommy]

so anyone wanna throw out any guesses to gender?? Just about 7 weeks old. In the last pic it is the "stink eye" showdown between a known roo on the left.

I'm not sure if it still applies, but when I was growing up, I was told that if you look at their first and secondary feathers on their wings you can tell male from female. If both sets of feathers are the same, then they are male, if not, then they're a female.

I'm not sure if theres a specific time where that stops being correct though...

It is an early guess, but I am going with male. The width of the comb is what I am basing it on.

My gut tells me male too

Not meant to have any silkies!!! I bought 4 in hopes of at least one hen, well 2 ended up being mutts and the other 2 are not looking promising in the "hen" dept. here is the other one. It is a total runt but is also just about 7 weeks old.
