Silkie sexing.

Hello chicken experts, so about a week ago I got a silkie pair (one roo and pullet) but I am not sure which one is a rooster. So does anybody know how to tell one from the other, Thank you

Females have poofier crest that is larger than the males, they also have little to no visible comb. The males have a swept back crest and a visible comb.

If you post some photos of your Silkies, we should be able to sex them for you.
