While we're waiting for the next batch, anyone can feel free to keep their gender identifying skills sharp with my like-aged silkie!

Interesting! I’ve been following this experiment to see what people say. I’ve been thinking cockerel because its comb is a bit deeper. Maybe that’s not always an indicator though, you know more than me.So cute! I'm gonna take pullet this time!

Any guesses for this cutie? Sent DNA test off on Monday.

Okay AlrightyGina, as a scientist you have my attention. Have you thought of running any statistical tests on your data? You are getting nice quantitative measurements so you should at least attempt a statistical test against your data to see if you have anything interesting. If your hypothesis is that the growth rate of the silkie pullet is significantly different than the growth rate of the silkie cockerel, then you need to find the proper statistical test (and maybe data transformations) to test your hypothesis accurately.
I have always used this site as a good reference: http://www.biostathandbook.com/index.html
and maybe see if there are any other similar studies performed and use the same methodology those studies used.
Good luck and good work! A lot of incredible science has been produced by independent enthusiasts, hobbyists, and inquiring minds. Never doubt that your inquiry, no matter how small it may seem, if done with proper rigor will add to the collective knowledge of humanity! Or at least the collective knowledge of the forum.
