4 weeks old ? Any idea of sex???
Probably too young but thought maybe someone is really good at it. :)
 
Way too early. Silkies are extremely difficult to sex before 4-5 mos. and sometimes not even till they lay or crow. This one is showing a lot of comb for it's age, so I have my reservations . But things could change a lot in the next several weeks. Is this a hatchery silkie?

Agreed.
 
I've had silkies for YEARS and I'm almost positive that that is a hen. The combs usually come pretty early, and although difficult to sex, it's very unlikely that your chicken is a roo.

Well. I’m curious after reading if you have any update. Cockerel or hen?
