So my silkie is about 10 weeks give or take.
I know they're notoriously hard to sex, but what do y'all think?
I can take more photos if necessary.

I am not seeing much in the way of wattles, which are more prominent in non bearded silkies. But I still think it's still too early to say pullet. I had a buff I thought was a pullet until he was 7 months old. Even then he hadn't started crowing yet.
 
I wouldn't recommend vent sexing unless you do that for a living. Even the people that do it all the time, only have a rate of 90%. How's it's comb looking?


He/she is hard to catch, especially in my "baby coop" (I haven't put this one and the other pullet in with my big girls yet) so it's kind of hard to see! From what I can see, there's not much of a comb which has me leaning toward pullet but other characteristics make me think cockerel.
