Is this a cockerel?

[CrazyChickLady64]

Hello everyone, I have two silkies and I am trying to figure out if this one is a cockerel. What do you think? I am posting a picture of both of them they are 8 weeks old now. The 1st picture is the one I am thinking is a cockerel the 2nd is the one I think is a pullet. Thanks.

Silkies are notoriously difficult to sex. It's probably still too early to tell, but close up photos of their combs would help.

The second one looks like it could possibly be a roo.
Is the silkie in the second photo the same one was the one in front of the two grey chickens?

No the second one is a different one. The one in the first photo is the same one in the third photo in front of the grey chickens and the one in the second photo is the one in the back of the grey chickens in the third photo

Could you send some close ups of all of them?

Here are the two I am talking about. The first 2 pictures are the same silkie and the third picture is the other silkie. I am thinking the first one is a cockerel and the other is a pullet.

I'm thinking the same. It'll be a little while before you know that the second one is for sure a pullet, because Silkies develop slowly, so that one could sprout a comb in the next few weeks and surprise you. But I think the first one is definitely a cockerel.

Yeah I think you’re right. The first one is showing signs of being a roo.
