This bird is about 8 weeks old. It's feathers on the head are starting to sprout out bit i'm not sure if it's just getting longer due to age. Any guesses on sex? I know it may be too early to tell.
It is too young to tell, especially since it is a Silkie. Many times, you don't know a Silkie's sex until it either crows or lays. However, I don't see any obvious cockerel traits in it (yet).
