Could you get a full body picture? How long have you had her/him?

Here is an updated picture of the Silver Laced #6 from above. The pictures don't show the comb as red/pink as it is in real life. What do you think now about it being a hen or roo? The chickens are now about 8 weeks old.

Looks like a pullet to me! Here's my 8 week old gold laced cockerel for comparison. Large, bright red comb and wattles. And you can already see a green sheen to some of the feathers near the tail. Hope this puts you at ease.

Thanks, that is super helpful! My silver's comb is way more red then the gold, but it looked like a hen otherwise. The legs on yours look way thicker!
