okayyyyyy I might have been wrong on the hen thing....
Looks like a rooster comb and maybe some hackle feathers i'm seeing...

Yeah I had a suspicion lol. I picked up 5 bantams and they all turned out roosters. I was holding out hope for this little one but oh well.

Thats going to be a lot of crowing!
Sorry you didn't get any hens.

Please trim around his/her eyes, it’s so sad to me that not seeing forward or down is tolerated.

Hold blunt nose scissors on the side of the face and trim , I also trim above their eyes. And their toes , and trim nails with dog nail clipper, these birds need to be maintained or they can get sick, mites, lice very easily their feathers are like fur.

Good luck

Yeah, that comb does look bigger, but almost 6 months and never crowed? What's going on with that? Guess could just be small and non-dominant? Too many other roosters around, maybe...

Either way is a beautiful silkie

Could very well be a rooster , none of my hens look like him !!
