Guessing I have a roo....

[FarmGyrl]

The more I look at pictures and read what people say about male and female silkies, the more I am convinced I have a roo. Does anyone know if I am correct in that assumption? :/ I really was hoping it was a girl.

How old, I'm not seeing any obvious rooster signs, but it depends on age.

About 5 months old.

I'm no silkie expert, but I think it's a hen, it should be trying to crow by now if it was a rooster, but I'm no expert. It's very good looking, have you seen any behavior that makes you think it's a rooster.

it stands really tall a lot of the time around my other ones but it's not very aggressive. Other than that I am relatively new at chickens and this is definitely my first silkie. Just hoping for a girl

I'm thinking pullet too. If it were a cockerel it should have tried to crow already.

It also would be attempting to mate by now too, I think it's just a dominant hen.

I think pullet, she's feathered and crested like a female. I would like to see a head frontshot, to see what her comb looks like
