Trying to deteemine my sex

[ZoomiesMom72]

I know I posted the chick a few times.She/He now being 8 weeks old I am eager to determine If this beauty is a roo or pullet? I have a solid black as well with blue ear lobes finally developing.This baby has started to develop the blue lobe as well.I guess I am afraid I am going to end up with 2 males.I just want to pair up a roo and pullet for next spring.I will try to get pics of my black silkie as well the little one is very skidding and active .Thanks for any help again! I'm beginning to feel like a nuisance lol.

Silkies can take a long time for accurate sexing, but at this point it looks like a pullet.

I'm guessing pullet, but it's still early to tell.

All Silkies have blue eyelobes. So don't worry about that! Hens eyelobes will be a brighter blue then the males when mature.

Honestly to me, it looks like a pullet. But Silkies are so hard to sex until they're several months old!

Possibly when my husband gets off work he can take pics while I hold the little nugget

May I have another moment of your time? If so ...Can you explain to me if I bred the black male silkie to the white silkie mix would the babies carry dad or mom characteristics? And the said white pullet has silkie characteristics BUT... only 4 toes and they are feathered .The breeder had frizzled, splash,silkies & serama.
