Silkies and wattles...Do I have a roo?

[silkieowner]

wouldn't go by tail either cause i have a silkie rooster here who has a rounded tail, I would either wait for an egg or a crow.

She is around 10 months old in the pic but about 14months or so now..My DH brought her home for my neice..I was holding on to her to let her grow a bit and fell in love..

crooked beak and all..

She is my only (hatchery) silky and I love her she will always have a home in the silkie shack...

Girl for sure! My girls all looked like that at 3 months old.

I have 2 silkies, any telling whether they are shes or hes? They are about 10 weeks

Normally, a pullet won't have red combs or waddles until atleast a year old if it ever does. Since it's turning red, it's a cockerel. ine was only 13 weeks when he changed. He was attacked by the other hens so his head is still healing in this picture

Please help! I have 2 silkies that the breeder assured me were girls at 5-6 weeks old. They are now about 15-16 weeks old and I swear I heard one make a sound that was suspiciously like a crow. Do I have Roos??

The tail would be more rounded if it were a hen too. His tail feathers are angular. I'm no pro, but of my seven by that age I saw clear differences like this.

Ok so now I'm really confused. Some say they can have wattles and Combs etc now I see fluffy round tails idk what I have. Help!!
