Hmm, that makes things hard, you may well have to wait for crow or egg then!

It wouldn't stop moving so that's the best photo i could get.

Comb looks small so it may be a female; however if it's young it may be a young cockerel. My female beardless silkies only get wattles as large as you bird's when they are close to starting to lay (about 6-7 months old). The little cockerels, however, will have wattles that size by about 3 months old.

I'm sorry what are wattles?

Wattles are the fleshy extensions of skin that hang beneath a chicken's chin.
