Is this silkie a boy or a girl?

[TigerChicken]

I have a black bantam silkie chick that is about two months old. He/she is mellow and gets pecked on by our frizzle (the frizzle is two months as well). Here are some pictures of the silkie.

Thanks for your help.

Welcome to BYC!

Silkies are hard to sex until they either lay an egg or crow. But you might want to post this pic in our What Gender section for more help with this....

Your flock is adorable! Enjoy them and welcome to BYC!

Hello and Welcome To BYC! X4, Silkies are really hard to sex until a lot older, if you can get some good pictures, head shots especially, you might also try posting in the Silkie Sexing thread https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/579215/silkie-sexing

Okay, that is good to know. Here are some close ups. I am sorry if they are not at a good angle.

Really need photos of the head front view to show comb development. I'm leaning towards male because the crest seems to go back whereas on a pullet it is usually puffy up front. This is merely speculation though - even silkie breeders can't tell for sure till 4-5 mos. or more.

You might like to post on the 'SILKIE THREAD," just put that in the search box. Loads of very experienced breeders on there. You do have a cute little silkie.

I am also wondering what gender my frizzle is. I know you guys mentioned that they are too young to be for sure about their gender. Do you have any ideas? Thanks! (The frizzle is the white one)
