Roo or pullet frizz dilemma!

[Kelkatyi]

Hi got some chicks a few weeks ago and know that silkies and frizzles are hard to sex. Now it may be my pessimism talking but is Ms. Frizzle a Mr. Frizzle or even a frizzle? She/he is roughly 5-6 weeks old. I don't have another frizzle for comparison, but the other breeds I have don't really have a comb yet. Thanks for all of your help.

Cockerel and not a frizzle.

Oh man, I figured, but if "he's" not a frizzle what is "he"? Any ideas? The feed store had them as red frizzles.

Yeah definitely not a frizzle and definitely a boy. If it was in the red frizzle bin, does it have feathered feet? Might be from a frizzle parent, just ended up with the 50% chance it isn’t frizzled. I’d “guess” Cochin but can’t see legs and feet? Someone that knows bantams better might have a closer guess!

Yes he has feathered feet :/ thanks for your help.

Probably a red bantam Cochin then! And I’d guess it will carry the frizzle gene if it’s truly from a frizzle parentage, so babies will have a chance at being frizzled! Reason to keep a boy

Wish I could, he's one of my favorites, but our city won't allow for a rooster

Ahh bummer :-( City ordinances that allow dogs (that bark) and don’t allow roosters confuse me. Dogs barking is almost always more annoying and continuous than roosters! I live outside the city on enough sq footage to have roosters and worried my neighbors would hate it (I’m very much still in suburbia) but they all said they don’t care and it’s less annoying than a dog. So I got lucky! I’m sorry you can’t keep him :-( He will be very pretty!

Also, !

Thank you for your kind reply. Yes there's a lot of rules I don't understand. One day I will be able to move outside the city. You are so very lucky! I know! He's such a friendly cutie already!
