My chickens are roughly 13 weeks old... One of my silkies has started crowing, so I've finally figured out he's a rooster, but my largest Silkie and my lavender Orpington have me stumped. Roos or Hens? Please help! (Note: My silkies just had a large quantity of watermelon and their usually tidy poofs are a bit mussed. 🤣)

Looks like it *may* be a cockerel if it's the one up front as that's a good size comb. Which one is crowing?

The Orp is a pullet!
The one up front is not my crower... It's actually my littlest silkie that is the crower, but I'll keep an eye on this one! (We've dubbed it Chiquita Banana).

But I am super excited to hear that my Orpington is a pullet!
