Are these male streamers on our 13 week old silkie? They’re not really longer than the other feathers but I’m nervous 😬
I figured I could get ahead of the game and arrange a home for him before he crows bc my neighbors will NOT be pleased (plus we’re not allowed roosters where we live) if he turns out it be a boy and starts crowing.
Any help would be appreciated!

I think male. My little cockerel is only a little younger than your chick and with the pointed feathers and what looks to be good sized wattles I would lean cockerel. But mine started crowing at 8 weeks!

Yea it’s so hard to say 😩 but mine looks to have a somewhat similar crest to yours I think!
 
I’m pretty sure I already know the answer but I’m wanting to confirm my suspicions. These are now for sure Ziggy’s male streamers coming in right? 🙈
