Got 2 silkies a couple of months ago and thet were too young to sex. Have never had silkies before. One of them is very different now so is there any doubt its a cock?
-
S/he is a lovely bird :)
Has s/he crowed ?
I can't see his/her legs but a cock bird will have heavier legs than a laydeee :)
-
The comb looks a bit large - is the other one the same?
-
will check out the legs tomorrow to see if there's a difference. The other one is very different. Not sure if they came from teh same parents but no eggs and no crowing yet from either of them
-
i would say a cockrel by the looks but its dam hard to tell from the picture. best way is to see if it has larger tail feathers. as cockrels will have . hope this helps /
