It’s Pat the silkie! Help sexing?

[Dieselsvt]

I Can’t figure out what sex this silkie is. It’s about 24-25 weeks old. It hasn’t crowed. It’s brother has a bigger comb and crows. Only tell tales for me are the streamers on the back of the head and it will spar off with the other 2 roosters I have at times. Any insight?

I think maybe a hen

Silkie hens are feisty little rascals, at least mine were years ago... So probably a hen, since by now should be crowing if not.

Thanks for the replies! Another clue is that although they fight at times 99% of the time it’s glued to its “brother”. They are hard to separate and it will go after my Cochin bantam rooster who dominates my silkie rooster (Pats brother).

She is bonded to her brother and will protect him, just as she will her future chicks... They are great moms...
