New to Silkies -

[Kelly floyd]

I just got a new Silkie- Becca Becaw she/he is 14 weeks! The other day she cackled & this morning she's crowing! Happy Chinese Year of the Rooster! (I hope not) is there a way to tell or do I have to wait till I find an egg?

Welome to BYC!

Im terrible at sexing silkie's i will leave that for other people.

But if i were to guess it would probably be a rooster.Hens usually crow when they get older.

Greetings from Kansas, Kelly, and ! Great to have you with us! I'm also not good at poultry gender guessing. You might post the pic in this link: https://www.backyardchickens.com/f/15/what-breed-or-gender-is-this
Best wishes and thanks for joining BYC!

Thanks for the warm welcome!

My guess would be that if there's crowing, it's a boy. Will you be able to keep him?

Hello!

Welcome to BYC and the coop! There's a lot of great peeps here! Feel free to ask lots of questions. But most of all, make yourself at home. I'm so glad you decided to join the BYC family. I look forward to seeing you around BYC. You can usually start looking for egg or crow at about six months. Good luck. All my Silkies turned out to be roosters.
