Is my little silkie a girl or boy?

She is very pretty is she laying yet?

Not yet, She was in the second hatch. A few from my first hatch are starting to lay. Maybe she will start pretty soon. She is a hoot. I was having to help her hatch out, when she started to bleed very profusly. I left the egg alone and said if it hatches it hatches, if not it just isn't strong enough to live. The next morning she had finished hatching. However I think the blood loss has impaired her mental ability because she does some goofy things. lol

So it seems I do have a little boy then. I'm going to be upset to see him go. He came from my first hatch ever, and he was the only one that made it. How long do you all think I have before he gets too loud for the neighbors? Thanks for everones imput!

He may be crowing soon.
