Help, is this silkie a roo?

[vpeterson]

I know that this bird is young but he looks like a roo to me. He was born in July so he is around 2 months old.

I have to sell my roos so I would really like to know what he is. Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!

It looks like a hen to me! Very pretty!

I'm going to guess a hen. But, Silkies are really hard to sex...so, who knows.

Anyone else?

Just by going by stance I'd say boy, the crest sweeps back too rather than be rounded like a hen, although no obvious comb and wattles but the bird is still young, if you can't keep him I would definitely wait a bit longer before you decide so you know for sure, keep us updated!

You have a very handsome roo there.

Roo...but I have been wrong before! It is so hard to tell at the age I am finding out.
