Any guesses on this little one???

I'm horrible with poultry gender guesses. But the folks in the link below are wizards:

How old? Silkies are one of the most difficult breeds to sex before 4-5 mos. of age and sometimes not till they crow or lay eggs. All you can get early are guesses and they may not play out in reality.

Not showing any gender features at this time.

Actually, there are several. Walks mostly squatted, is rather shy, not bold and 'in your face.' wings span most of body...rounded, not sharp feathers. Had an educated guess by the hatchery breeder, just trying to gather other opinions.

Welcome!

You might want to try on the Silkie thread also but will probably be told there that (s)he is too young to tell for sure: https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/297632/silkie-thread

I hope you enjoy being a BYC member. There are lots of friendly and very helpful folks here so not only is it overflowing with useful information it is also a great place to make friends and have some fun.

If you would like to share pictures and stories of your flock, you have come to the right place. BYC’ers never tire of these and do not back away slowly or commence eye rolling when the photo album or home videos come out
