Make or Female?

[Nicole_Hutchison]

Trying to determine if this silkie is a male or female. About 4 months old. Was really difficult getting a clear view of his/her face. I thought originally this silkie was a “she” but with the brown color coming in behind the neck and on the tips of the wings I am now thinking a male!

I'm no good at silkies but my guess is female....

Could you try to get a picture of his/her crest?

I'm no good

Close up profile and head on showing comb needed. Like this 8 week old pullet as an example :

I say male with wattles at only 4 months.

The wattles look pretty small and no color in the comb. At 4 months and also being beardless, I am leaning pullet with this one. I would expect more development in a male this age. The coloring does not really look male specific to me, though could be a late blooming cockerel.

Why am I so bad at this.

You are not! This is a very tricky bird.
