Boy or girl silkie

[JosieChick]

This is a 5-6 month old silkie that I hatched from three cedars silkies eggs, the pictures do not do this gorgeous bird justice! I am trying to decide if it is a pullet or cockerel. Opinions?

pullet. If it was a boy, the comb would already be redder (i have a two month old who already is getting a nice mulberry comb, so hes a guy)

 

[JosieChick]

ohh, I hope its a pullet! I love this bird!

girl!

Girl!
Do you see how round she is? Her topknot and all over form look roundish. The boys are more linear.
She's a beauty!

Before I commit I'd like to see a photo without you holding it from the side.

I had a black that I SWORE was a pullet until about 5 months. It's now a GORGEOUS cockerel and the daddy of some of my black chicks.

Im going with girl. Very nice.

I say girl, very rounded shape and no indication of streamers at all. My vote goes girl.

I totally agree, I see no signs of streamers. Pullet

Hahaha! That is my fear!!! I had a partridge silkie that I swore was a pullet and then overnight streamers shot out of this birds head and he crowed the next day. I was shocked, I was waiting for an egg!!

Do you want a picture head on without being held? Or a picture from the side without holding it? I was trying to get a good pic of the comb but it didn't go well. I will try to get some more pics tonight. I bet you know your birds best and I have been duped before!! This bird looks just like my white pullet in every way except the comb is a little more mulberry colored....
