Silkie hen or roo

[Canadianfarmgirl]

This silkie has me very confused. I can't decide if it's a hen or a roo. It is 5 months old, and I have another 5 month old from the same hatch that is definitely a rooster. I thought this one had rooster feathers in the crest, but it doesn't have a comb or tail feathers like the other one does. Any help would be appreciated. Please excuse the dirty comb, it dunks its head into the water bowl.

Looks like a pullet, but I don't see a clear picture of the comb. Do you mind taking more pictures of the comb closer up?

This one is confusing. At 5 months judging by the wattle size I'd say hen. But the overall body stance looks more rooster-ish to me, although generally the large TSC silkies do look that way. I'm gonna say pullet, but would love to hear if it starts crowing or laying in a few more weeks.

Agree with this.

I am not at home until Friday, but the comb is just a flat sliver, that is less then 1 cm in hight

Then definite pullet

Well, not DEFINITE definite, but I'm pretty sure
