Silkie boy or girl????

[Jamie127]

Hello all.. I’m new to chickens and have a bantam that I got that was listed as assorted. I believe it is going to be a buff Silkie. It has 5 toes. It is so sweet and I’m wondering if anyone can help me with letting me know if boy or not. I’m hoping a girl!! Thanks!!

How old is it I can see it isn't fully feathered out yet. It is showing a BIG comb which may indicate a male. But silkies are notoriously difficult to sex before 4-5 mos. of age and sometimes not till they crow or lay eggs.

Cockerel. Not fully feathered and a wide developed comb.

This chick is about 4 weeks old
