Boy or girl?

[kittychook]

Maggie (or is it Michael?!) has woken us up the past few days crowing. There are no spurs that I can identify but some little bumps on the back of the legs which seem to be present in all our chickens which has confused us a bit. she/he is approx 18 weeks of age. Any help/advice you can give would be gratefully received?!

Rooster, the tail feathers are a give away, pullets tend to have neat tail feathers, boosters have pretty tail feathers, he is a very good looking rooster

We had a feeling but didn't really want it to be true. I think he is a maran ?

Hi there, your own thread would help you get more answers but I'm leaning towards hen on your pretty Silkie.
