I have been reading this forum for a while and recently completed our first chicken coop.....and we want your opinions on what this bird is....Roo or Pullet....they are silkies as you can tell....thanks in advance...

Honestly, depends on the age. This could be a full grown hen, or a young cockerel.

Can you show us a picture of the whole bird?

And Welcome to BYC!

Thanks for the welcome! The picture you are seeing is of a 14 week old. I will get a full body shot a post.

The pictures are very small. Are there any streamers coming out of the back of the crest?

I'm torn.. If I could see it closer up, it might help lol.

Sorry about the small pictures...I'll try to get better pictures to post. I don't think there are any streamers, but since I'm new to chickens...lol

That looks to be a pullet. I am pretty sure You said 13 weeks.. Yeah.. I'm going with pullet. No streamers, round crest. I have a hen that had a big comb very young. She is now a couple days away from hatching her own chicks.

Along with her BFF Pearl - they are going to co-parent lol
