Silkie hen or Roo?

[SilkieFaye]

Do you think this is a hen or rooster silkie?

I have one like it the same age, and from the same brood I know it is a rooster as it crows all the time. This one doesn't crow but had some bumps near the bottom of it's legs? What do you think? I can try and get a clearer picture if needed.

Could we have a shoot of its face inculding wattles and comb ?

From the pic you have giving us, she looks like a hen

I don't see any rooster-y feathers...but that's a pretty big pair of wattles and a comb. Mine started crowing at 4 months, so if it ain't crowing I still would say girl.

Okay, but what about the strange bumps on her legs? Is that normal on some silkies? I hope that is is a girl cause I only have two hens

It looks roo ish from the crest.
But some silkie hens do have a slightly big comb.
Hmm, now I really don't know

Well if it isn't crowing could it be a late bloomer possibly? Cause it is taking sweet time if it is a rooster. I guess i'll just wait and see.
