This one has me stumped (sexing help)

[pbjmaker]

This pretty bird is a blue silkie (with miscolored red head) X (golden lakenvelder X EE).

I was thinking roo in the begining because of the orange color in it's feathers. But the color seems to be all over and not just on the shoulders.

Now I don't know what to think. Any opinions yet or is this one that is gonna have to crow or lay an egg to know.

ETA: The bird is nearing 8 weeks old.

Side shot:

Head shot - it has that evil silkie look down already...

Oops sorry - s/he is nearing 8 weeks old. I will edit the first post to include that.

I would hope hen - but silkies seem to be hard to pin point.

(and not a breed I have)


Very, very pretty. I think her *chant pullet pullet pullet* head shot is adorable. Maybe there is something wrong with me.

S/he has her daddy's eyes.

She is one of my two favorite birds this hatch. The other is a little blue silkie X splash cochin baby roo

He is very sweet tempered and a black mottled look. Unfortunately I can't keep another boy.
