Silkie Hen or Roo!

[missychicky]

This lil fuzzybutt I'm looking into adopting was hatched on December third. The first 3 pictures were taken at 9 weeks old, the rest are recent within a few days. Do your thing folks!!

Looks to be a pullet Close up of comb though to be sure.
Pretty partridge!

I'm pretty sure that's gonna be a boy, I don't think partridge ladies get that deep red/rust colouring, nor do I think any hens get those sort of "wing bars" patterns on the wing, sorry :'( unless you were looking for a cockerel which in that case you found one!

Yes I was having second thoughts about my guess. That’s why I asked for the comb photo. I think you’re right about the wing coloring.

It’s still early but the colouring looks male to me. Update pics in a few weeks and it might be more obvious!

Oh noooooo

Yep I am definitely looking to adopt a lil girl. I am having SUCH a hard time finding a silkie hen that has been handled enough for me to feel like she'll bond to me. I'm one of those house chicken/ chicken baby people

Get some chicks and then sell any males. Then you can really baby them.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's a boy just from the posture and crest. If the comb looks like an inverted 'U' then I'd definitely say male. Super cute though!

Some silkie breeders sell DNA sexed pullets. Costs a bit more, but then you can be sure. They will usually offer a quarantee.

Male has my vote
