Silkie sexing...5 weeks?

This is Queenie....or is it King? 5 weeks old, Partridge Silkie/EE mix.

Queenie looks like a king-ie. Definitely too young to tell, though. Most people can, pretty accurately, and sometimes can't even, sex them at 10-18 weeks of age.

The grey looks like a cockerel. The comb is obvious.

We can't have roos in town, so I'm just trying to tell as early as possible

Well you can say it's a male. Sorry.

I thought so, too. Just didn't know if it is normal for them to get combs at 5 weeks. So sad...he is so sweet!!

Sometimes it's obvious.
