Silkie ‘pullet’ crowed

[wemimew]

They are little buggers. My tiny 5 months old silkie Bebe crowed (more like squeaked) this morning . Hopefully she is confused.... because she is half the size of her brothers, an insane fro (that I have to cut to a Mohawk so that she can see), no wattles, small comb and holds herself like a ‘lady’. Anyone have this happen to them before? Here are some pics from a month ago when she was unwell, I will grab some more with her brothers later today so you can see why I am so confused

If it's actually turning into a crow, it's a cockerel! I don't do Silkies, I'm sure someone can tell you though.

Hens can and rarely will crow..... Hens. Pullets do not crow. Ever. If its really a crow that this one's trying then its a cockerel, but it looks like a pullet. The comb is small, no wattles to speak of.... Silkies aren't my forte, so I'll bow to more experienced silkie people... but I think its a pullet.
@HuffleClaw your a silkie person, right?

Update - silkies are so confusing! After many morning crows and angry behavior towards its friends - this crower laid an egg! Turns out pullets can crow! I’m so happy

Here are some more pics from this morning. I couldn’t get a good comb pic but it has not changed from the previous ones.
Here she is with her brother that is the same age

The little black one is the same
age and a confirmed pullet, she has started squatting and trying her hand at the egg song

And some more random pics

Some hens will crow. It's not uncommon.
It's not a problem. I don't do Silkies either but I would wait a while before you decide you've got a cockerel.

I still think that’s a pullet. I’m not seeing any cockerel characteristics other than the "crowing"...

I have to say I have never had a pullet crow. But Sexing silkies is very difficult they do not really mature until 7 months old and 90% of my cockerels crow about a month before they start showing tell tale signs of a cockerel like comb and streamers. My current rooster was always half the size of his hatch mates and did not look like a cockerel even when I told the breeder that he crowed at 5 months old she said no way but at about 7 months old his comb and streamers came in and he started dancing for his ladies and has fathered many gorgeous chicks.
My silkies have tricked me so many time I NEVER assign gender until they crow or I see them lay an egg/go broody. It makes it less disappointing that way. One thing I’ve noticed in my flock of silkies is my boys are more friendly and outgoing early on and my girls are more stand offish keeping there difference until they are at point of lay.
Him at about 4 months old you can see how tiny he was

Him at 7 months old

This weekend mooching for my pizza crust

I love splash silkies! My only one is working on her first egg at the moment - here’s to hoping i can get many more! And your little ones are simply gorgeous
