I would say boy since that comb is awfully red. Is it a Silkie mix?

I got him/her from My Pet Chicken so it’s a hatchery chick. Supposed to be all silkie. My other one isn’t as red and the comb is Way smaller at the same age...

That is definitely a buff silkie cockerel. Congrats on your chickens.

Male silkies combs are usually that reddish blackberry color.

No problem. Are you not allowed to have roos where you live?

Legally i am allowed to have a rooster but if my neighbors complain i will have to re home. Hoping all goes well!

If they are the same age and there is that much difference I think you do have a cockerel. Is there any size difference?
