Wattles are visible and same color as the comb.

Thank you.

I have what I think is a roo Silkie? What do you think?? No crowing yet and loves our other Silkie. Will not leave her side always grooming her

I noticed you have a Golden Laced Polish Cockerel. Do you think you could help me discern what mine may be? In regards to your Silkie, I'm hedging toward roo.

Yes that seems like a rooster to me. Very pretty rooster though!

I'm thinking definitely cockerel, especially with those wattles. How old is it?

That looks like a pullet to me. How old is it?

Here are some pictures of Jonah. He's 12 weeks old. Notice how his crest feathers are very thin and pointed, and they flop over messily, whereas your's are thicker, with a more organized globe shape, trademark of the polish hen.





Also, those roostery tail feathers coming in <3

And I know he's a cockerel mostly because he just announced it with a few honks up in our tree yesterday morning xD.

Pompadour is about 10 weeks.
I appreicate your kind response.
