Is My Silkie a Hen or a Roo?

[SarahsCoop]

Pretty much asking the masses what the title suggests: Can anyone tell me if my Silkie chicken looks like a hen or a roo? It has long feathers on the back of its head like a roo, but it doesn’t crow, and it doesn’tstand up straight like Roos are supposed to do. It stands level like he rest of my hens. I’ll try to get better pictures tomorrow but here’s one to start with.

Don’t know what gender but beautiful birds.

Which silkie are you asking about? You photo has 2 birds. How old are they? Also we need to see clear pictures of their combs. Which means birds facing front with crests, pulled back or held back to display entire extent of their combs.
