Silkie cross sex please?

[candycar]

This is a silkie x bantam cross, not sure how much bantam is in it There are 3 generations in our flock of silkie/banty mix.
Chick is 5 weeks old. Is it not too early to tell? I hope it's a female! Thanks!

What KIND of banty? Bantam is a size.
Looks like a girl right now. She looks like she has a little tiara on!

She's precious and has a gorgeous hair do. I think she looks like a pullet for now.

If you like those pics, look at this!

grandma or great grandma was this banty

We started with 1 silkie roo and this banty, we now have 2 roos, one of which is the son of the original silkie. All hens are daughters of the different dilutions to the original pair. Confused yet?

Cute pics - looks like a pullet right now, but that could change.

Is the fuzziness just down, or is it silkie feathering coming in?

Ahh- ok- you have a bantam barred rock. What an interesting combination!
Did you ever get any barred offspring?

Thanks all, I'm glad you think it's a she. This was the only chick out of 7 eggs I incubated. I'm "mommy" and she has been kept in the house (for now)
Turtlefeathers, the feathers are silkie, she only has babyfuzz on her neck and upper back now.
Happymtn, we had one roo that was barred and smooth from the 1st hatch, 3 smooth black hens and 1 black fuzzy roo. The roos are gone now.
