I asked when this one was around 6 weeks old and was told possible rooster. Asking for an update now that “he” is almost 3 months old. I’m aware it’s really hard to sex at young ages, I just really want to keep this one. Also, can anyone verify that he is indeed a splash coloration? I purchased him as a “white” but the black has just started coming in heavily the past few weeks

It’s definitely a pullet as you cant see a comb. Looks like a dirty white color like mine. Splash chickens look more like my profile. She’s not splash for sure she’ll have the color my white silkie has.

Anyone know what I should call this one we hatched out ? He is getting that green coloring on his tail n wings hard to see in the pic but I love him we totally want to keep him. We got him from an auction on eBay from Kentucky hatching eggs
