    I will say boy. The crest is split for the comb. I hope I am wrong though

    Lol! I am going to re-watch futurama tonight. I sold all my silkies and almost everyone has won a show [​IMG]. This time I am keeping all the girls and getting rid of all the roos.

    I havent been online this afternoon what with being outside and having a mean internet connection, just wanted to say what a pretty silkie/color! I would think he's about 10 weeks old at least, how long have you had him? I also think with the split comb he appears to be a boy, but with his nature, you should have no issues, he could be like my original Snowball, he was so cool, almost like a parrot that didnt talk, very friendly and sweet!
    Enjoy your bird ...
    PS....sometimes it takes people a while to respond...they're out with their chickens for a while [​IMG]
