silkie sexing

[silkiecuddles]

So still unsure of what my silkie is and no one has even been able to give me help or at least guess/suggest on what my silkie is, i would really like to know ahead of time as if he/she turns out to be a roo,we will need to prepare to buy crow prevention collar as i live in a city area that allows chickens, but a more quiet neighborhood.

Pic please

Pic please

@minxie really hard to tell. First thought was what a cute rooster, but the second pic makes me second guess that. Leaning toward cock, tho. :/

Ok well I'll keep that in mind, also he/she head is wet cause keep dipping the crest in the waterer XD
the comb isn't very big, but he/she stance does also put me still at a 50/50, thank ypu for you're input.

They are about 3 months old - really hoping for girls as I already have a silkie roo.

Ah okay. The wet crest threw me about gender. Does the tail look like it has a good deal of streamer like feathers? It looks so in the first pic but not so much the second.

If you're talking about the black feathers then yes, latte had a load of those on he/she tail, itall centered then outer is the light buff color, I shall take more fresh and clean pictures in about an hour, when i unlock the coop and let the girl's out for treat time.

@silkiecuddles here are some close up pictures on latte crest before the trim today, so that he/she can see to eat.

@minxie still hard to tell. How is it demeanor-behavior wise?

So far they both look like pullets
