Single comb silkie

[Amarie420]

my little dude is SO SWEET to the two tiny babies we have in with him. He’s very gentle with them and concerned about them. this is him with them just under him.. I hope it continues as his personality into the future .. but I know hormones will kick in.

I’m so torn if I should keep him or not. I have a naked neck cockerel that is beautiful that I planned on keeping.. so I would have to build a whole new coop and run if I kept him.. but his personality so far is amazing .

Also, silkies tend to get along better with other roos when raised together lol

I can't tell if this is a pullet or roo, my first single comb silkie. The comb is v shaped, but all the single comb silkie pictures I can find lol v shaped. I can't tell if those are streamers on the crest or not. Any ideas? She/ he is 8 weeks old today.

I'm going to say female for now because of how little the comb has developed and I don't see any streamers yet. Keep us updated!
