Is my silver penciled Plymouth a roo?

Like with my Olive Egger rooster, he was so pretty I found him an amazing not-stewpot home! Wishing you luck! There are also State-specific "free to good home" threads on here.

I have the same question! Is my silver penciled Plymouth a roo? 6 weeks and little to no feathers across the back

That’s good to know! I’ll check out the threads you’re talking about.

That’s similar to how mine was at 6 weeks (see pic below). I read somewhere that roosters can be slower to feather. Also I think the females have more of the silver penciling than dark feathers around 8 weeks, but maybe give your little chick a few more weeks and I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you!

Definitely male
