How old? It’s terribly hard to tell with silkies til about 6 months...

The Mohawk makes him look male, but I have a female that looks just like him...

This is my “bonded pair”from a breeder that we’re going to be a happy couple, till they both laid eggs , they are still both happy

I think he/she is a little over 4 months, I heard someone in the chicken pen crowing this morning and our golden laced wyandottes are girls so ?? Lol! The GLW are 13 weeks now and the silkie seems to rule the roost only after 3 days of being in there, he/ she will peck at them if they come near the food hes at.

That's definitely a cockerel with that large comb and wattles.
