Silkie sexing

[Lhynes1478]

This is my 12wk old partridge silkie. Still have no clue on sex. Still has female coloring on wings (barring) and not red covering.. but obviously that could change. What do you guys think?

Can you get a picture of the front of the comb please? I'm leaning towards cockerel.

Hmm. The crest is making me think cockerel, but the comb could go either way. Maybe you should wait a few more weeks. That's how Silkies are, sometimes they are easy, sometimes not. If I would guess, I'm going to guess its a late blooming cockerel, and it's comb will get bigger and redder in a few weeks. But I could be wrong.

I’m really curious because in the silkie group someone sent me these:

for partridges only. And I’m curious how accurate it is because I think my partridge is a roo too lol.
