What Gender is Our Silkie?

[HallFarms]

Hi! We were really hoping for a hen when we got our Silkie, but as Dolly is getting older, it is seeming she may actually be a rooster. Is about 12 weeks in age. Any thoughts??

Still hard to tell but I think cockerel.

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

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.
