I need help with the gender of this Silkie!

[LadiesAndJane]

and the reason we thought it was a boy was because she always dances around the hens and try’s to jump around/on them. but maybes she’s just being playful.

Well maybe she is a boy…
No crowing? No other roosters around?
Mystery…
If she is a she, you should get eggs around 8 months of age but can be longer.
I do not see any male characteristics like streamers or saddle feathers. Male silkies usually get very flowy hackle feathers as well.

Crowing is normally a good sign that you have a rooster. Though there are cases of females crowing, it is usually older birds. Guess you will have to wait and see with this one.
