Silkie Ameraucana mix question

[Christianson97]

I’ve got one we hatched out and as the feathers come in we are noticing the neck feathers are rounded. Is this indicative of a female?

 

[The Moonshiner]

No.
Both sexes have rounded feathers until closer to maturity when males get their male specific feathers in.

It can be, but I've noticed personally a lot of my Cockerels will start out with normal feathering and get their big boy feathers later on

Watch the breast area and see if it feathers in mostly black (male) or salmon reddish (female) or brownish red with stippling (female)

Updated photos. About 7 weeks old now I think.

I'd say wait a little longer but I see nothing crazy cockerel-like for now! the Combs a little wide but it looks pullet overall!

It's a pullet, I've hatched a couple of crosses similar to yours, & both turned out to be cockerels.

Watch the comb closely?
