This is a 8 week old silkie mix. I was thinking she looks more like a easteregger part of the mix. She is starting to get tan feathers on her tail and wings a lil. But the cone is just barley starting to come in. I won't get rid of this chicken like you say until it crows. No crowing and egg laying is what I'm in hopes of.
From my understanding a roo's cone comes in a darker red. I had a chick that just in 6 weeks the cone and waddles were coming in dark red. The pullets come in light red.
He's a cockerel!
