Sexing baby silkies

[MamaBear228]

Thoughts on my baby silkie? I think this one is a roo! 5 weeks old so can't fully tell but just ideas! He jumps with the other ones and pushes around the girls sometimes.

It's a satin, so it might be easier to tell around 12 weeks instead of the normal 16

Thanks! I heard you have to wait for it to crow or lay an egg to tell. Do you know what signs to look for? I feel I have 4 roosters by behavior and looks but they are too young to tell.

They will develop a larger comb, saddle feathers and battles if they're not bearded
