Roo or hen silkie

[VespaGirl]

This silkie is 9 weeks. Is it a roo or a hen? I have three others who are about five weeks. Can you tell at that age? These are my first silkies.

Looks like a roo to me.

Silkies are difficult to sex at that age, but like Skye727, I'm thinking cockerel as it has an awful lot of wild crest for a pullet that age.

I'm leaning towards cockerel, but it is rather young to tell for sure with Silkies.
