Silkie Gender Help Please!

[blessednest]

Hi there! We purchased a beautiful partridge silkie pair, and are not completely sure that we got the right gender on one of them. We are new to raising silkies, so we are still learning! It doesn't crow or lay eggs yet. I couldn't get a good shot of the comb, but it is rather large, and there are wattles, but not very large ones.







Thank you for the help!

Here is a little glimpse of its comb, not a photogenic bird

I'd say roo. It takes a long time for them to crow. They tend to be late bloomers. Generally very easy going though.

Looks like a rooster. Very maleish feathers, and the coloration is just like that of a partridge silkie rooster. Hens are more browntoned.

Yep it looks like a rooster.
