[bluefeather2697]

hi guys, i bought a cute white silkie today, she is classified as a pullet at the store. just wanna make sure.
they also don't know the age of this silkie.

i'm really hoping for a pullet! i want a chicken to brood my leghorn eggs in the future!

she's still peeping by the way.


Breed: White Silkie
Gender: any guess?
Age: any guess?

I'd say age maybe 2-3moths, just a guess.
Age for gender, s/he is pretty young to tell but its comb look kinda big and the feathers aiming back on its head make me wanna say roo, but I'm no expert and silkies are very confusing to sex.

the wideness of the comb and the swept back look of the creast make me think cockerel but with silkies its hard to tell gender

any more guesses? im really hoping for a pullet.

It just *looks* like a male....

Well, its a Pet Quality silkie, which makes it even harder to sex. I had a definite hen once whos comb was bigger than the definite roosters! I'd say wait a while, until sickle feathers grow in or it lays an egg.
