Thanks for the feedback! We were definitely hoping for a hen, but now just hoping he won’t be too noisy and disruptive that he will cause issues with our neighbors.

It's probably a cockerel. Sorry, I know that you wanted a hen. But, he is pretty! Silkies are known for their calm personality, so he will probably not attack you.

Thanks for the feedback! We were definitely hoping for a hen, but now just hoping he won’t be too noisy and disruptive that he will cause issues with our neighbors. So far he has been fairly docile and friendly towards us so hoping this behavior will continue.

Thanks for the feedback! Still holding out hope but it does seem to be a cockerel.

Wide comb, squared crest, long legs, it's a cockerel. A handsome one too.

Thanks! Agreed! He is very pretty good to know about the distinguishing features. We were definitely hoping for a hen, but now just crossing our fingers he won’t be too noisy.

Still hard to tell but I think cockerel.

Thanks!! Still kind of holding out some hope, but it is definitely seeming that he is a cockerel.

You're welcome, look out for streamers growing out on the back of it's head, another sign of a male.
