This is Clover, my six month old Silkie. I'm pretty sure she's a hen. But, she's recently developed wattles which concerns me. I know that Silkies are really hard to sex but I'm wondering if anyone else has some insight as to whether she does indeed look like a hen or not. I'm sincerely hoping she is a hen - she's our favorite and the sweetest little chicken. We can't have roosters where we live so I will be really bummed if she turns out to be a he. No egg laying yet (but no crowing either!)
