I'm hoping soon...what makes you say she might be ready? She's been acting more dominant lately. Trying to climb ranks in the pecking order?? She's been flaring out neck feathers and "fighting" with the other girls. Chasing them.... and jumping at them. I thought she might be a cockerel bc of the way she's behaving lately. Also the black and orange silkie/polish I have is a bit younger but already has a much more mellow personality and her crest is more obvious fluffy pullet.Pullet. Looks like she's getting ready to lay soon, if she hasn't already.
I'm leaning towards cockerel. If it is sixteen week old, I would not excpect such a large comb. Although I don't see any standing out male feathering, the tail keeps making me think boy. Did it have a large comb like that when it was younger?
Then definitely a cockerel. A pullet wouldn't have a comb like that at that age.View attachment 1174265 View attachment 1174266 View attachment 1174268 View attachment 1174269 View attachment 1174270
