Help!! Silkie Rooster or or hen? I’m not allowed to have roosters!

[Amber the Easter Egger]

It may be a hen, but I think it looks 75 percent like a rooster and 25 percent chance it is a hen judging on the looks.

Silkies are crazy hard to sex imo. How old is he?

6 weeks!

Uh oh! Thank you for your help

How old is it? Can you post pics of comb? Silkies are almost impossible to sex at a young age.

Looks kinda like a roo to me.

Have a 'Plan B' in mind. I lean cockerel, but it is too young to give a definite gender ID.

I agree with @sourland.

I believe it is a roo

I think other wise

thank you for your help, I tried to get a good pic but he/she was moving a lot

I’d personally say it’s a cockerel going of how it looks so far, cute though!

Is this your only one?

Yes! I had to get her/ him bc my barred rock needed a friend after a dog attack where her two other chicks got killed! I have 4 big hens and I didn’t want her to go in alone!
