Silkie hen or Roo

[HSGal]

Hello everyone!

Meet Rum, Rum is 20 weeks ish and hasn’t started crowing but the comb is HUGE. What are y’all’s thoughts???

To me she looks like a cutie little girl!
I have had many silkie roosters, and they all tend to have very tall bumpy combs, compared to their ladies!!!
Since she's 20 weeks iI think that's enough time to tell!
If you Reallllll-y want to know then the angle of the back/stance will tell you!
So adorable!!

I lean toward it being a cockerel, but it's really tough to say for sure. Probably it will be a case where a crow or an egg decides it.
