Looks like a hen, is it colder where you are? I know sometimes silkies will wait till it's warmer weather to lay even if it's past maturity.

No I'm out there most of the day. We have about 10 silkies now. This one never goes in the hen house. It hangs with my other two roosters all day long.

I have already posted these before but, no one has responded yet. I think that it is a hen. It is five weeks old in the photos. Thank you.

Hey much to young to sex. That's probably why no response. I was still guessing at 5 months. I would give it some time and come back.

Aaaw, I'm sorry. Yeah, I read about if there's multiple roosters one might be a late blossomer if they're the lowest rank rooster.
