What gender does my 12week old silkie look?

[Joanna Wong]

Any guesses? Doesn’t look like it has a very large comb no wattles yet ?

Looks like a pullet to me.

Thanks! Is it only roosters which grow massive Coombs and wattles?

Bearded silkies won't have wattles. Beardless silkies will exhibit them. I like to see silkies photographed with head facing forward and crests held or tied back, to display full extent of comb.

So far it looks like a pullet, but that's no guarantee. Silkies generally mature more slowly than other breeds.
