Hey there! First time chicken owner here and long-time stalker of this site. :)

Can anyone tell me what gender this is? I'm thinking a cockerel but I'm not very experienced.

Here's shortly after I first got him/her with two light brahmas that are dubbed "The Puffs". They are the sweetest.




And now at around 8 weeks of age:






The poor thing's face looks like a vulture, lmao. Is it going to fill in around it's face?

Also, the silver laced wyandotte up there...Thoughts on the gender of that one as well? Both that and the gold laced have a blush to their combs just like that. They are also around the same age.

All chicks are from the local Rural King.
 
Thank you! It doesn't matter much if the silkie is a roo, I'll still keep it. Any other opinions on the silkie?
 
He was in a bin at the local Rural King. I think someone said that cackle hatchery supplies the one in my area but I coud be wrong.
