PLEASE HURRY!

I have two white silkies that I literally couldn't get verification on here on this thread or anywhere until they both laid eggs. One even had a fairly large red comb and waddles. Someone even claimed one was probably a boy because of the large comb she had as well. They were both hens.

How old is this bird? From your pics it looks to me that it could go either way. As you've probably read on silkie threads, they are hard to sex. Unfortunately you may just have to hang tight until you see a squat or hear a crow. Sorry.

When I was trying to sex my silkies I read page upon page of this thread and looked at the pictures and predictions and got a feel for how each determination was made. Some were right. Others not. I ended up with two roos as was predicted because of chest bumping I saw and eventually crows. From what I've read silkies are the hardest breed to determine sex. Even my vet wouldn't guess at it. Not sure what the hurry is but if you end up with a roo find your local 4H leader and see if they are in need of a rooster. Good luck!

That looks like a roo to me. But I thought the first pics looked like a pullet so this one may just take an egg or crow, but I'm guessing crow.
