Silkie hen or roo

[karint]

Hi I know silkies are really hard to tell but someone said based on stance you can tell the gender. Anyone have enough experience to way in? Thanks

That would be exciting. Can I ask why you think that? I have 3 more all younger so I’d like to watch for signs.

In the males you will see streamers on their head for a crest, typically not so poofy. Also, when the crest is pulled back males will have a nice size comb.

I would say hen as she isn't giving you the rooster "stinkeye" in any of the 3 photos posted.
