I believe it's a hen.. Silkies are very hard to sex, so I' m not positive.

I am the wrong person to ask - haha! I have a Silkie I swore was a cockerel until the day she laid an egg.

I don't see anything that screams cockerel, like streamers or anything, though.

Haha
I'm having some trouble sexing a silkie myself! I have a white silkie that acts like a pullet but looks like a cockerel, I'm not sure!

Abit small for 19 weeks, unless it's an extra small/petite.
Comb looks like a cockerel's.

Thanks for the tag.
I am leaning cockerel as well, but I would like a clear close up of the comb in good lighting with crest pushed back with one hand.

The body makes me think pullet but those feet look big. Silkies are always so tricky. My youngest hen was just over 7 months before I knew with her. I suspected a pullet with her.

Did this cutie come from a breeder or a hatchery?
