I can try to get a photo of the sebright but her tiny comb is black and I had a golden the same time I got her and by 6 weeks his comb was big and bright red. Hers stayed tiny and turned black.
A couple more shots of Buttercup. I could not get it to turn around for a side full bodied shot with my other hand on the camera.https://www.backyardchickens.com/content/type/61/id/6643142/width/200/height/400[/IMG[/QUOTE]
a add.
that's your culprit. Silkies are known best for there crests, hens have a solid poof with little to no comb at all, whereas cocks will also have the poof, but thin pistule-like feathers coming out of it.(this affects the tail as well) Also a more prominent comb such as on yours.
This silkie "Buttercup" is 9 months old. I've always thought it to be female. This morning out of nowhere I heard crowing. I have three other bantams two old English which no doubt are girls and a silver seabright. I'm not sure if it was the silkie or the seabright crowing. The seabright has a dark colored itty bitty comb...its not red. I'm hoping the crowing wasn't from this guy. I was really wanting it to be a girl. I removed it from the coop and put it inside and the crowing has stopped. What are your thoughts?
