Blue Bell the silkie; he or she?

[deco]

Thank you all SO much for the input. I guess we will wait and see what happens with Blue Bell. Either way she has a home as my friend says she would take her if she ended up a him. That makes me feel better as I was mainly upset about the prospect of her becoming someones dinner. I bet there is not a huge market of black skinned chicken eaters though. Haha.

ETA: I am now wondering if the man gave me the wrong age for Blue. My roommate and I were talking about how when we brought her home she was still making peeping noises when her sister wasn't. She just quit peeping within the last week.

Could be! I got one "Showboat" and she is always showboating! you would think she is a Roo, but fortunately I know she is a hen, lays eggs and raised two clutches of chicks.....other than that She is the Manly-est hen I have, but then again I think in my coops the white ones (Silkies) for some unknown reason are the most opinionated, Ornery hens I own!! And they are all hens too! !

Try looking for spurs growing on the legs. If you don't feel any it might be a she.
