silkie sexing

Got my silkie on 4-12-2014 he was a day old

Well at that age I'm saying pullet. Even a bearded rooster would have wattles of some size and I don't see any. I have a silkie just like this except mine's 2 months old and mine's wattles are much bigger than your Silkie's wattles. I don't see any streamers either. I'm going with pullet.

Hen or Roo 5mo

She look exactly like a hen I have with a lot of masculine features. I didn't believe mine was a hen until I actually saw her lay an egg though. Tough one!

5 weeks old... Hen or Roo? I know probably too early but I love opinions!

Is this Blue looking like a roo? It's 5 weeks old here. I'm guessing roo but I'm new to chickens all together so idk. Love to hear everyone's opinion!

It is just way too young to tell!

Dont lose hope. Its gonna look pretty funny for a few weeks (awkward teenage time) but will look lovely again!

This is my beautiful Penelope. We bought 6 "female chicks" 4 months ago. So far 2 are roos and now Pen is "crowing". Her waddle and comb is so different than my other silkie roo I thought she was a she. What do you think?

That's a boy for sure. So sorry tho, what a bummer! I'd be pretty upset
