Silky sexing 6 months.

[Purple_grape84]

I'm a little embarrassed, but I keep going back and forth on this babe. Probably about 6 months old. Haven't heard any crowing, makes little talking noises to itself .
Thanks for your help.

Male. Streamers and comb.

 

[PioneerChicks]

I think I see streamers

 

[Purple_grape84]

Thanks, do you mean streamers around the tail? I know what to look for in non- silky. It's the small comb that keeps making me second guessing.

 

[Purple_grape84]

It's so much easier when there are others for comparison, but this is our only silky.

Streamers are long feathers around the neck and head, hackles are the ones around the tail. You can find examples of streamers here: Sexing Silkies

He is very handsome, by the way!
