Humm, hard to tell. Could we have a Face Shot?

From this shot it looks boyish, but the bird looks a bit young to tell. If the comb 'puffy'?

You know how they say your first impression is usually the right one? When I saw the pic I too thought boy.

Yeah, I really thing so too Robin, the more I look. I think I spy some wattles starting, and it looks like the comb is starting to fill out. Could be wrong, the head is small in the picture.... also the backward general direction of the crest.

Could someone tell me what color my silkie is? I have a roo and a hen that look like this.

I'm going to say blue partrige? I'm no pro on the subject of Silkie colors but that is my guess. Now lets the pros chime in and i'll see if i'm right or wrong.

At what age do silkie chicks become fully feathered and at what age can they safely go into the coop? Our winters can be cold. I live in PA.
Thanks!

It is not a recognized color. Your bird is an off color... pretty color but not standardized or showable.

Nope. That is either splash or grey with autosomal red.

I was sold "calico" eggs by a breeder and this is what hatched. Just curious.
