Looks like a cockerel to me.

Looks like you've got a rooster

Agree looks like a rooster

One of the tough things about silkies is the fact that they are SOOOOO hard to sex when they are small.
On the upside... one of my sweetest is a little roo and the boys are know to make great pets. As long as there are not any local ordinances against having a rooster that is.

If it's crowing, it's male.

 

[chippy99th]

Agreed. Roosters DO cackle, mine cackles louder than the ladies.

 

[Cel45]

Yes roosters do indeed cackle.

Thank you all for your info! I live in the city but we have acreage so yes I can keep him! We have goats sheep cows horses chickens several roosters cats dogs ducks owls hawks & coyotes in our neighborhood! The owls hawks & coyotes just visit our neighborhood! I've never had a problem as my ducks hens & new Roo are enclosed but have lots of dirt grass tress & bushes! Speaking of bushes- I found my new Roo in the top of the bushes the other evening? 1wing is trimmed so HE can't fly but how in the world did he get up in the bushes? I guess I have a Character on hand now!
Thanks again
