4 1/2 Splash Silkie Gender

[KimsNest]

Hello lovely chicken people. I’ve been raising chickens for 7 years, Silkies for 2 and now recently obsessed with and hatched Seramas. Anyway, I have this Splash (all black patches are ironically covered in the pics) Silkie that completely has me stumped on gender and I’d like your guesses. Pet quality and will keep no matter if Roo or Pullet. I can’t speak on outside temperament because of being newer and on the low pecking order. Bigger than my regular silkie hens. Comb is small. Cannot feel talons and doesn’t make a lot of noise. Thanks on your guesses on my Winter.

Same, I think he's a cockerel. Is he a splash or paint? Because you said he had black spots. Splash has blue spots not black. Paint has black.
