Silkies --- roo and pullet?

[harleyjo]

I would love to have it confirmed that I have a rooster and a pullet. They are getting close to 8 weeks old now. I had 4 and a week ago Friday a raccoon broke into my coop and took two of them and these are all I have left.

What do you think?



Little rooster with the red wattles?



Little Pullet? No wattles



Both together

I dont know much about silkies but I would say you are correct roo and pullet.

Looks like a pair.

I still think its a pair. Did you know the "roo" has a single comb?

I don't know, I am assuming from what I saw it is single but don't know for sure. This is my first time with Silkies. I don't know much about them. I was given some eggs to hatch out and then they decided they didn't want what hatched.

What does a single comb mean?
