Older, single comb silkie

[cottontail farm]

Can anyone help me with this silkie? I am aware of the low quality, I love this funky chicken because of

the lack of head puff and the single comb. Born in March maybe, bought from TSC

. No crowing, no laying, no mating yet. With the way my head roosters act (vaguely protective, indifferent) I am thinking pullet?

You have a silkie feathered pullet of some sort, but you ain't got a silkie there, as you seem to know!

Cross with an ayam cemani perhaps?

This is my Silkie roo, never mind the comb and crest which you know about, look at the way he stands, and his tail. He is all man, lol. Yours is a pullet, despite the large comb imo.

Pretty chicken, either way, and looks like a pullet to me.

She kinda favors the bird in this thread...

Thank you, that totally makes sense. Yes, there is a huge difference in the posture between your roo and my bird.

Cute girl! Hopefully she'll be laying soon

My rooster just started "paying attention " to her, so hopefully eggs soon
