Male or female silkie?

[won023]

I have a 6/7month silkie and I’m not sure if it’s a girl or boy doesn’t crow yet it’s a bit dirty so it’s head feathers are abit hard to tell... I feel it’s a pullet mabye?

I don't have any Silkies but have raised some chicks for a friend, read a bunch on sexing them & they are not easy. Yours is a bit "young" yet but thinking its a Cockerel but maybe wrong ...

If it's 7 months, that is a female for sure. Comb would be bigger if it was a male at that age.

Looks like male to me with the long thick feathers on neck, top of head and tail.

I think it's a pullet.

Need to see good closeups of head facing forward, with crest pulled back to show full extent of comb.

We had to wait for our Fuzz to lay an egg to be able to tell. And she actually did crow a few times, talk about a confusing girl!

I’m leaning towards cockerel but it would be very helpful if you could post a picture when the crest is dry and fluffy that way I can see if I see streamers which indicate male.
