Black bantam Silkie. Hen or Roo?

[jenbohman]

This little one is about 4 months old. Not crowing. Pretty round crest. Narrow comb, but fairly large waddles. Also, is it normal for Silkie wing feathers to be picked and ragged like this? We have 2 silkies. Both around the same age. Both have ragged wing feathers.

I'm almost certain that that chicken is a hen

Oh thanks! Based on what? That would be great. I’m just a little nervous about those long waddles.....

I don’t know what it is but I would just like to say that you have a really good camera and those are some good pictures.
