Silkie gender

[Squeak61]

Hi everyone. I have some 6-7 month old silkies here, and I’m very confused about this one’s gender. This chicken is SIGNIFICANTLY larger than the others and it’s feathers are suspiciously rooster-looking. No crowing, though, that I’ve heard. Thoughts?

I think it's a big pullet.

@drumstick diva , what do you think?

That’s what I was worried about, I’m having a hard time figuring it out

Handsome cockerel. Check out those long legs.

Dang it! And I know right, he has some thick thighs!!!

He's a big boy, especially for being bantam.

Definitely, it was crazy when he started growing. In person, he’s almost double the size of the hens!

I believe it. Some silkie roos are just really tall.
