Is my 8 wk old silkie a roo? Pictures

[kcallis]

My 8 week old silkie started crowing yesterday, and even though she was sexed as a female, I'm now having doubts. I have other chickens, but this is my only silkie. Since she already looks so different from the others, all assumptions I normally make about chickens are out the window.

What do you think?

well if it crows then it a roo.. as for sexing it has a hen its really hard, really hard, to sex silkies that young, most of the time it takes bout 4 months to tell what sex they are.....

My Valentine does look remarkably like your hen. How old is your hen? did she really crow? does she lay eggs?

Thanks!

Chickenmaven- I haven't seen a hen with a comb that big, is it laying?

I'd say roo. Here's a pic of Sugar (the white one), who is now a big loud ankle pecking ROO.
