Guess what.So, I'm still confused, because Cappy Llama is totally developing a comb. Not the same as the for sure cockerels, but a comb none the less. It still has female feathering except for the more male poof.
Help!

cockerel?Guess what.
I’m not good at Silkies, but I feel pretty confident in saying that’s a boy.cockerel?
I guess it's time to start calling Cappy Llama "he" and wait for the crow.I’m not good at Silkies, but I feel pretty confident in saying that’s a boy.
I think cockerel as well...So, I'm still confused, because Cappy Llama is totally developing a comb. Not the same as the for sure cockerels, but a comb none the less. It still has female feathering except for the more male poof.

Yes, that’s young for a Silkie.I busted Cappy Llama in the nesting box today checking things out. He isn't quite 19 weeks yet, so even if he was a she, it's a bit young for a silkie I think?
Oh dear. This is getting me all cornfuzzled again. I think you will have to catch the little stinker in the act of laying an egg to clear it up. I'm switching my vote to pullet now though, lol.I caught Cappy Llama in the nesting box again this morning. I've gotten 4 small pale eggs over the last week, seen some silkie feathers in the boxes and had a pale egg with a white silkie feather stuck to it. I'm thinking Cappy Llama is actually a pullet! Which is crazy because they just turned 20 weeks old yesterday, so if it is "her" laying eggs she would have started laying at about 19 weeks. Which I think is crazy young for a silkie, but then again, this is a hatchery silkie... I'm excited to check the boxes tonight!

Cornfuzzled accurately describes my state on this little bird too! If there's a likely looking egg in that box tonight I'll try to remember to post a pic here!Oh dear.
