**Gasp** Is Lil' Jackie a strappin' Jack? Another silkie gender quest

[CityGirlintheCountry]

This is Lil' Jackie, the buff silkie. She has been a girl for months now, but I am starting to get suspicious. Has Jackie transgendered on me? Is she, in fact, a closet he?

Darn those silkie for being confusing!!

If more then about 4 months old, then by feathering it is a Jackie.

He/she/it is about 4.5 months old.
We think she's a she? The pictures don't really show it very well, but there are wattles growing in and his/her comb is spreading wider than my silkie hens combs. I just never can tell with silkies...

I think Jackie is Jackie! That comb looks just like my pullet's comb, and they're about the same age. Mine hatched April 1.

I say it's a lady!

I also agree with the 2 post before me..... It's a Jackie!
