Hen or Rooster?

[pharrison4659]

I have a silkie that was given to me as a “hen” but I’m thinking rooster. No crowing, and my other rooster has treated it as a hen. What do you all think?

He/she looks like a rooster, but the no crowing and other rooster treating it like a en seems to be pointing towards it being a hen. Maybe its just a very manly hen? or a girly rooster? we had two hens that looked like roosters but started laying. good luck! I hope this helped.

How old is it, in weeks?

Definite cockerel.

Looks like a cockerel to me with that large and very visible comb, but they can be hard to sex. My silkie hens have usually had their combs hidden by fluff at this stage.
