Silkie Sex?

[pmoore]

This is my first Silkie ever, didn't get my hopes up in it being a female so it's name is Sullivan! Super gentle and sweet, often falls asleep in my arms and enjoys my company! From a straight run bin of "bantams" at TSC, although it's much larger than my other bantams. I've read a lot about breed quality etc. so I'm not necessarily surprised. Curious about the comb though!
It's approximately 3 months old- what are some things to look out for to determine sex?

I'm bad with silkies but it looks male to me

Silkies are incredibly hard to sex. Sully looks like a boy right now, but I really dont see any streamers yet. They are tall wispy strands on the top of the head.

I'm not getting my hopes up, I'm assuming he's a boy because of those wattles! I don't have a preference, just curious although it would've been nice for him to earn his stay with some eggs

They are pretty big as is the comb which is why im saying roo for now.
One of my friends thinks a silkies main purpose in life is to be snuggled on the couch......and be a mother. They are perpetually broody. My silkie serama girl is on a batch right now, but beforehand she was always being carried around and cuddled. Roos can be just as affectionate and spoiled. Sounds like you e got a good one regardless of sex. And a very pretty one!
