Silkie gender???

[thornoelle]

I got these silkies from MPC and they are all supposed to be females but I am not too sure about this one. They are 9 weeks old. What does anyone think???

They aren't the greatest pictures as I was having issues with the sun and shadows. The comb and wattles on this one have been bright red and quite obvious for about 3 weeks.

I would say that's definitely a little cockerel.

Thanks! I thought there was a good chance of that. I will have a bunch more to try to figure out but they are still too young at only 3 weeks old. I will post pics of them when they are a little older.

yep they made a mistake there is a decent margin of error with sexing especially bantams

I'm not upset. I know that there is a margin for error and the fact that MPC is the only place that even attempts to sex bantams I am happy to get 5 out of 6 females!
