Always gotta be that one weird one.I've heard crowing once so far, and didn't see the culprit.
Definitely loos like a cockerel! Acts like one too, minus the sitting now.
Honestly, none of them have obvious streamers. But, two developed that green beetle sheen near saddle area and pointed tails. As well as sheen on the hackles, maybe it's just because they are black? They are about 7 1/2 months old.What I'm looking for are streamers on the back of the head, but the background color blends.

Silkies are so confusing! I’d say girl for this one! The poof is nicely rounded so pretty! My Betty White gets super scary when she’s broody too I get nervous trying to move her haha, so tiny but so fierce!View attachment 2954094View attachment 2954095
Okay so this is the other possible cockerel. I thought I had two boys and two girls until I regularly started getting 3 different eggs. You can see the Sheen and the tail better on this bird. The one that is sitting has the same color and tail shape, but this bird does have more fluff in the saddle area. They both have obvious combs compared to the other two who still have very flat combs.
Silkies have been a real journeySilkies are so confusing! I’d say girl for this one! The poof is nicely rounded so pretty! My Betty White gets super scary when she’s broody too I get nervous trying to move her haha, so tiny but so fierce!
I have one white one, and one silked frizzle mutt with some coppery gold at the neck and breast area (that was one of the ones I originally thought was male but she squats and is barely getting a comb now). I went out and looked real closely, what I'm noticing that is different is this one has a much fluffier saddle area compared to the others. They are all tiny, maybe I'll weigh them too.Love your Silkies! Mine are white. Behavior is a good indicator of sex if you are unable to tell by feather sexing. Close observation may be the surest way, at this point, to determine which one’s the cockerel. My cockerel is larger than the hens. Yours might get a bit larger as well. Let me know! Good Wishes!!
