Ok, all you silkie and ee people, I have a challenge for you!! I'm resigned to wait until it crows or lays an egg to be sure. I say boy, hubby says girl. Single chick from a really bad hatch where Murphy's law was invading the house.
Hatched from a nice big blue/green egg. 6 weeks old. Black silie roo in with ee hens and an ee/silkie mix hen. 5 toes each foot but poor separation. Mostly feathered out already, except it's keel bone area. No color to comb other than the black skin. Black skin all over actually, black feet, black beak....

So have a stab at it, I'll update with more picks in a few weeks.

I have a chick that looks quite a lot like that one but is more blue with silver lacing. I think s/he is a Silver Sebright/Silkie mix but I'm not sure.

I say roo. I have a blue female that looks almost identical! Pretty bird!

Emzyyy-do you have a pic of yours? Sounds just like mine, but mine is EE/Silkie.

I say pullet, our EE roos had more pink to their combs by this point. But I don't know much about silkies so the silky in that may cause the comb not to color like my EEs.

good luck, hope it's a girl
