The first thing I thought when I saw the black one compared to the other two is that it's a pullet. The comb is definitely the wrong type, but that doesn't automatically make it a roo just because it's a single comb. The wattles are also too small. The body shape, especially the tail all say "girly" to me.

Hi!

I'm sorry for the confusion!

I was saying that the second bird in the OP of that other thread was the cockerel, I believe yours is a pullet. As for the comb, silkies should have a walnut comb, but since the single comb gene is recessive, it can hide in silkie lines and come up every now and again, it doesn't mean she's not pure

BTW, I've emptied my inbox

Again, sorry if I confused anyone

Aww thank you, i was thinking she could be crossed with a cochin, just judging by the ones ive owned before (and still do-my silkie/frizzle has a comb very similer to that) and this is a picture of a polish/silkie mix i owned a few years ago, its kind of blurry but you can see how large her wattle is at least!

she is (sopposedly) three months old, according to my breeder.

Sure looks like a roo to me.
