Cockerel? Confused!

[SamNY]

We have four new chickens and three are laying eggs. We thought the laying chickens were the three larger ones until the Silkie Bantam crowed this morning. I want to confirm we have a Silkie rooster. Is the little chicken really laying the third egg?

That Silkie is definitely a rooster so the little chicken must be laying the third egg. His wattles plus his crow leave me in no doubt she is a he. Silkies can be hard to sex until they mature sometimes.

That Silkie is definitely a cockerel... with an incorrect comb for his breed.

The other little one.. looks like she *could* be a non bearded porcelain D'uccle.

example...

I agree that is a Porcelain D'uccle, we have one, looks just like that. She is a hen for sure, and the silkie is a rooster.
