Hedwig - has to be a Silkie roo right?

TLDR: I am pretty positive that this is a cockerel

I was hearing two crows and I rehomed a roo on the guise that I swear this guy is the other crower. My wife hasn't heard it because its not happening once I let them out of the coop. Still on the fairly young side.

I believe that he is a cockerel. Silkies can be tricky on gender ID.

Yeah we have quite a few silkies and it is very true with the gender ID. I just guessing based on stature, the slight copper feathers in the shoulder area and the comb. Still need to catch the crow in the act. This coop has 9 year old hens (barnyard mixes) and 3 silkies. The other two silkies seem very much pullets with a smaller stature, no streaming feathers and a very manicured top poof.

Cockerel.

Agree, he is likely your little crower.

He's so handsome! If you were closer, I'd offer to adopt him - if you were getting rid of him.

Cutie but definitely a boy!
