calling all silkie experts. 8 weeks old

[HERSHORTNESS]

I realize it is too early but for those that want to give a shot at guessing. I can try to post results when i know for sure as it gets older. Im guessing roo because my other silkie (hatched same day, but different color) does not have the wattles at all. (of course i don't know on that one either) I think the comb is a little bit bigger on this one than the other. Wattles on this one are still really black but very much present.

You are right-- wattles at 8 weeks are a good indicator that it is a cockerel. But it's not definite at this point, so give it a few more weeks to be sure.

I would guess cockerel.

I would guess roo, but hard to tell for sure at this age.
