This is my 3 month old silkie Sky and I don't know for sure if this is a pullet like I've been hoping so what do yall think? Thank you

I'll go with pullet, but silkies can be deceptive.

Thank you and they can be pretty sneaky definitely keeping my fingers crossed

I’m going to say Pullet...

Silkies are indeed tough and hens can crow, BUT...at 4months mine started crowing and trying to breed with the others...he got the crown and nape(head&neck) streamers, the pronounced wing tips and floofy tail.

Here’s my roo when he was about the same age. He’s 6months now.

I'm thinking girl.

I vote girl. The comb is the thing to watch on Silkies. If it goes through a growth spurt in the next few weeks, then you'll have to reevaluate.

The first photo is of him when he was 4 months right? He's a beautiful roo ❤

The body and lack of comb looks pullet like, but I think I see streamer feathers.... which would normally signal a cockerel. Maybe someone with more experience with silkies can speak to this (I’ve only raised a few). You’ll find out soon enough is my guess.

I have silkies. Pretty positive this is a female.
