This silkie is about 20-25 weeks old. The one on the right in the first picture is a 2yr old hen. I am interested to know if the other one is a roo. It's already bigger than the hen, so I am curious! Thank you for your help!!

I think #3 is a roo, but its just a guess! I am not very good with silkies
 
All the pictures are of the same one...LOL I should have written that haha.
 
I say boy, the comb is very prominent, the crest is taking on a sweeped back look in the back which could be streamers starting, and the amount of silver leakage - you see more leakage in boys over girls.
 
Thank you all for your help. And "scaredofshadows", thank you so much... i'm going to keep that all in mind for next time!
