help with gender partridge silkie

[kayjuggler]

This little fluffy thing is a 3 1/2 month old sikie from a BYC breeder. I only have the one sikie so don't have another to compare to. I'm trying to figure out the gender and am leaning towards roo due to the size and shape of the crest and wattles/comb but am so uncertain. The Houdan that hatched with him has been crowing for weeks but not this little one.

Thank you very much for both of your posts. I can't keep roos so that's too bad.. I guess I'm going to be looking to get some more silkies now....they are just too cute.

He's not partridge, but he is a boy. He's closer to red than anything else, but not really that, either. Partridge males should be much darker, with at least 50% of the breast feathers being black.
