Any gender guesses on this Silkie?--- Updated

As I'm not a silkie person yet (my chicks are on order) I can't give you a guess on weather that's a boy or girl I will say this, your top roo will mount a lesser roo to show him his place. Maybe it's just the photos but the poof on its head looks girly to me except for the very back where there are longer hairs. Can you tell if the comb and wattles are big through all those feathers?

 

I'd bet a pullet. No true silkies in our barn but something makes me say pullet.

 

How old?

 

My bet is pullet. It looks just like our four month old blue pullet. Our splash roo has a large dark red crown and waddles.

 

Looks like a pullet to me.

 

I'm going with "spectacular boy". The pic on the right looks definately like male streamers.

 

Looks like a rooster to me too. The 'breeding' between them is most likely a dominance issue.

 

Without seeing the comb I'd say pullet. I've uploaded our four month old lavender pullet and year old splash roo for comparision.
