Im going to say cockerel also, because of the wattle growth already at this age.

You do realize this is a Non-Bearded Silkie right? Their wattles show more than the bearded ones.

Here is a current pic of violet, 7 weeks later, at about 21 weeks old now. I am pretty sure "she" is a roo in the making. No crow yet, but since I have started letting the girls out for a few hours, "she" has really started to become more self confident, and "she" is very protective of her little girl, Daisy, and even chased and pulled a feather out of my EE ("she" is normally afraid of all the hens) And, I don't know if it means anything at all, but "her" clucks are deeper than any of the other hens that are twice "her" size. Can somebody tell me if it is safe to stop calling Violet a "she" and start referring to "him" as Veo... I am going to have DH try to get a head shot that isn't cut off and some full body shots to show "her" curved tail. Thanks
