What Gender?

Any guesses on what gender my silkie is?

It's hard to tell. Could you post better, individual pics (whole body and head), please? Cockerels have streamers as early as three weeks of age, and tend to have a more upright stance and carriage than pullets.

That's my duck in the background. I will try to get a better pic of her but that's the silky in the front.

All right, thanks.

A better photo would help, but I'm leaning towards pullet.

Your Silkie doesn't really look like a Silkie to me. It looks more like a Sultan. I'm thinking pullet.

Good observation. The chick doesn't seem to have the characteristic Silkie feathers.

Im thinking the same thing, not a silkie. Silkies have blue skin, the pic looks like it has yellow feet not blueish black.

Check the skin color. Silkies have black skin, flesh, and bones, blue earlobes, and have five toes.
