Bantam Silkie ROO?????

[snowburton8]

Wondering if my 7 week old silkie is a roo or hen? Have any ideas?

Still too young to tell for sure yet. Silkies are very hard to sex and some you only know when they crow or lay an egg. Cute little one!

I see nothing to indicate gender yet. Do you have other silkie chicks? I ID'd a male in my group by his much thicker legs... But if this is your only one, that won't help. Mine also had streamers, but my two red pullets (poor quality), also looked like they had streamers. Then his comb started developing big time...then he crowed

I have another silkie and Ill check to see if "HER'S" are bigger! Thanks.

Too young to tell officially, but I'm betting on roo. Crest is very small and slicked-back and I believe I see the hint of a comb popping up.
