Silkie hen or roo?

[lmstransky]

Is this a silkie or a roo? We thought we heard her crow before, but it's not everyday. I know she has a big ol' comb, but she is a silkie non-beared/bearded cross so, I am not sure if it means anything. What do you think?

3,000% cockerel not only is there a huge comb but he has some very nice streamers as well coming from his crest.

X10, large comb and streamers prove cockerel

Aw, darn it. We were worried that might be the case. He's a very quiet gentleman, so we're going to keep him. Thanks everybody!

100% sure that's a cockerel. Such pretty earlobes!

sorry, but at least you can keep him! also i know he is a rooster because (in a addition to what everybody else said) his beak: if it is a boy it is long and has a sharp decline down, if it's a girl it is more rounded.

Oh cool! I didn't know about the beaks! Thanks for the tip.
