Hen or Roo??

[jamieb227]

Hi I have this lil silkie about 3-4 months old. I know this breed is hard to sex but am trying to figure out if it's a hen or roo

Looks like a pullet.

Is their steamers in the back of its head? If you had a side view pic it would be easier to tell.

Tiny wattles and comb, round crest, short stout stance are features telling me that you have a pullet!

Looks like a pullet for now.

Here is a side view

that is a cockerel. the swept back crest and the streamers indicate cockerel

I still think it's a pullet. I have had lots of unbearded silkies and all the males I had have had large wattles by the time they were 3-4 months old. This bird's gone none. The crest looks uneven because it's still growing in.
