Any help on my little silkie? I checked it's wings when I got her and it had the 2 different rows of pin feathers. I'm hoping it's a girl!

She's crouching down so I would say pullet. But she is still young and you can never really be quite sure till they crow or lay an egg. Maybe post a update photo in a couple of weeks?

What about now? She's really submissive and sweet! She's about 5 1/2 weeks now. I hope she's a little girls!

Thinking cockerel, but too young to be sure. Silkies are tough.

Well, I am far from being an expert. Turned out my two Silkies were Roos... the puffy head would make me think she is mistmlikely a girl. Just watch firbthese longer feather growing on the back of her neck and a comb... I know how it feels and send you positive energy so she is a pullet! Aloha Aina
