OMGosh! Is this my very first Roo?!

Sunny is growing a comb at 4 weeks?And it looks rosie colored...he's a silkie frizzle. I know it's early but I see it...do you?!

The comb does look raised, and at 4 weeks that usually means you have a cockerel in Silkies.

I agree with @JedJackson - very likely a cockerel.

Thanks for responding to you both! He is one of my favorites. I have 2 frizzles in this bunch. If the other turns out to be a pullet, I guess I'll eventually have to keep them in separate pens. I was hoping my 2 frizzles were both girls just so I wouldn't have to worry. Thanks again!

Didn't think I'd know so soon! I've only ever bought pullets in the past. This time I went with straight run, never owned a roo before!

Worried about the frizzle gene...wish it was a pullet but I'll figure it out
