I posted earlier about my 14 week old silkie who could very well be a boy. This is a second silkie...same question. She is slightly damp in the pictures because i tried to wash her feet off. I got this one today as a trade for my polish cockerel that I had to re-home. They think this white silkie is about 4 or 5 months old. I will also post some pics of my other silkie for comparison and if you have opinions about that one, please share. The white one is the one I’m asking about in this post. The darker one could very well be a boy; s/he has a larger comb and wattles and maybe some streamers on the back of her head. S/he is also quite a bit heavier and a little larger than the white silkie. Still, both have pretty prominent comb and wattles (the white one has shorter wattles though and the comb is closer to the head). Here are some pics. Any help appreciated! Thank you!
 
I will be surprised if the white one is a pullet. Those are some big mulberry combs and wattles for 4 or 5 months old. Plus it has the 'hairdo' of a cockerel. So my vote is male. The brown one looks like a cockerel too.
The jury is still out on the white one, who I have named Dollie. Sage, the dark one, who was sage-colored as a chick, is definitely a cockerel...crowing all morning. I have to re-home her. Thanks for all the help! :(
