New to Silkies... No idea what I have

[BulldogsandChickens]

Dumplin’ was purchased on 3/26 in a Bantam Silkie Straight Run bin at Coastal Farm Supply. I am new to Silkies and have no idea if at 5 weeks the sex can be determined? Please take a guess!

Still too young to tell. That comb looks a little suspicious, but it could honestly go either way. Silkies take much longer to sex than most breeds. I've had birds that I wasn't sure about until they were 16 weeks old.

It's a cockerel for sure

Suppose it’s best the only Bantam I have is a rooster. This little Dude is sooooo loud and can definitely hold his own. Odd behavior causes me to roll on coop laughing on the daily!
