Silkie chick, 3+ weeks old

[Sara L]

I have a silkie chick over 3 weeks old (I think hatched on May 15th) I'm hoping you all can help with gender. Can we tell this young or does it need more time?

Definitely need more time...usually you need to wait until 6-8 weeks old.

Silkied are super hard until AT LEAST 8 weeks

The silkie turned out to be a boy the comb just kept getting bigger and bigger. I have two silkies about 3 weeks younger and the white one looked just like this one, but the buff had more fluff on her head and small comb.
