The impossible: Sexing silkies

[Thehappyheifer]

I was sure that this blue was a pullet, it has developed slower, no steamers, it walks like a pullet, and akmist no comb ,but I'm beginning to worry.
Opinion?

How old? Looks like a pullet to me. Why have you started to worry?

My only real reason is that she is so much larger than the other presumed hens. I have roosters out of same stock that there's no doubt, though.

Pullet.
I see No development of a comb,no streamers.

Funny.
I look again and something says "Rooster"
No signs of being one,but something about that Silkie makes me think Rooster.

Let us know what happens. I'd Love to see.

Pullet

That's what happened with me; dbf swears it's a roo, which made me look harder. I have one that looks just as feminine from the same hatch and it decided it wanted to be a rooster-- (the gray I posted ) this week .

Like this Lil one... Not Completely satisfied its a Pullet. Has a straight comb unlike a Silkie..so I'm not sure...yet

I have a silkie rooster... We couldn't tell his gender until he started crowing (which was 2 months later than it should have been)

Looks like a pullet to me too....they can be tricky tho...I have one that if it wasn't laying eggs I'd swear was a roo...lol
