What gender is my silkie

[PerfectPlumage]

My new 6 week old partridge silkie chick was suppose to be a cockerel but I am not sure. His names Hagrid cause he has a beard. But their is a slim chance Hagrid is a girl. What do you guys think?

I don't know, looks kind of girlie to me. It will be a while before you find out though.

Really? Hm. That's cool, I was fine with a roo but another hen would be awesome.

It has a pretty full crest for such a young age. Is it swept back at all?

I'm thinking pullet, but it is too young to be sure.

 

[drumstick diva]

I think pullet too but, really too young to be certain.

The crest is upright and puffy and round with thicker feathers scattered around the crest. Their comb is very small, almost nonexistent.

Not 100% sure, but I think it's a pullet.

Looks like a pullet...but you just never know with Silkies. I had two Silkie hens this year that I really thought might be roos, but they both lay eggs.
