Anyone male or female?

Got him/her as chic from tractor supply on March 13th. Was sold to me supposedly as female but now I'm not sure. I only have one of this kind at the same age so idk

How old ? Not a silky - perhaps a cochin bantam.

2 months and 2 weeks old now

With that much comb and wattle development at 10 weeks, I believe the bird is a cockerel.

I agree not a silkie and probably Cockerel.

Boo really hoped a girl. I have too many Roosters now that were supposed to be girls too. Thank you for the help

Cute, but I don’t think it’s a silky.

This one is tricky because it is a Birchen Cochin and the males and females are different in colour. Yours is coloured like a hen would be. How long has the bird’s combs and wattles been red like that?

Also whoever told you any bantams should be hens if you bought them as chicks gave you incorrect info as TSC doesn’t sell sexed bantams. The only hatcheries/suppliers I know of that sells sexed bantams are My Pet Chicken and Cackle but birchen cochins aren’t a variety they sell.
