Silkie gender?

[Emmz135]

Hi i have a silkie thats about 2 months old.What gender is he/she?i suspect a roo but I'm new with cgickens and im still learning.

I’m leaning roo with that much comb already and the shape of the crest. But Silkies are hard to sex before they either lay and egg or crow.

Aw man i bought 3 silkies and i guess they all turned out to be roos

 

[Heather94]

They definitely all look like roos with those combs and waddles. I’m sorry my first 2 Silkie chicks I bought were both Roos too. A black and a white. I guess we had the same luck

Give it time though. It’s still early. One may surprise you

Looks like a cockerel. I did the same thing last year. I called to offer the third crower back to the breeder, and she felt bad and gave me two more 10-week-olds. I knew as soon as I put them in the quarantine coop they were both boys because of stance and leadership behavior. Out of five, no pullets.

I think boys based on tails, wattles, and backwards crest
