Sorry to be the one to disagree, but I think it is a rooster. There are streamer feathers in the crest and the darker color of the wings and crest usually indicates a male.

Yes, definitely a boy.

Yes, he is buff. It is very hard to get clear buffs. The vast majority have come black or blue in the tails and wings. Males seem to have more black or blue than the girls.

If it would live up to its name, it would let you know if it were a cockerel or a hen... and if it were a cockerel, then it would change itself into a hen.

so my white silkie pictured is just showing dominence over the buff and not trying to mate huh?

That is so very sad for me-ouch and for that buff!

That is the first I have heard of the wing thing... good info to have. Silkies are so darn tricky LOL A lot of folks thought my Poppet was a male, but she certainly turned out to be a she. But, that many Silkie experts can't be wrong....

Shoulders are a typical male colour area for all breeds.
