Hi Everyone!
So I have a four week-old White Silkie that is showing only a small walnut comb but "she" is not easily handled so I was wondering if she might actually be a roo. I can't seem to find any pictures that show the difference between Silkie pullets and roos. Does anyone know what age on average you can tell with the Silkie breed? Thanks!
 
I'd like to know the answer to this question too, i have 10 silkie chicks coming on saturday.

I've heard you pretty much have to wait for the roo to crow, i'm hoping i'll be able to tell before that....
