Am I a hen or rooster Serama?!?!?

[Maine_chic]

Hi all! This is our first (and only!) Serama. We got him/her by accident—a friend who raises ONLY Silkies and Seramas gave us 4 eggs....all supposed to be Silkies! Three didn’t develop and the one that hatched gave us quite a surprise! We live in Maine so a Serama isn't a great match for us...but my kids certainly love this affectionate little bird! I think this is a rooster given the color and development of the comb, but I have nothing to compare it to!! These pics were taken at 3 weeks and 2 days old. What do you think....hen or rooster?!?!?!? Please give me your opinion and rationale so that I can learn! Thanks!
PS If anyone is knowledgeable about keeping a SINGLE Serama inside your house during the cold months, please connect with me, I have quite a few questions, reservations and concerns ( I **DO NOT** want to keep a chicken in my house, no matter how small and cute it is....but my kids are very persuasive so I'm trying to be proactive here

It's a cute little Cockerel

That much comb at just 3 weeks, no doubt its a cockerel.

 

[The Happster]

Yep, you've got yourself a cockerel.

Cutie. He is a boy! Congrats.

That looks like a little cockerel, due to the size and color of the comb and wattles at that age.
I have never attempted to keep a chicken in the house (single or otherwise; not after they feathered out) but I know some people have. Not sure who to tag; hopefully someone will weigh in.
Good luck with whatever you decide!

Hi! I can probably weigh him pretty easily, I will try later today. I dont' klnow how tall but I can try that too. He is definitely a pure Serama. The person from whom we got the eggs is a huge aficionado of Seramas and he did NOT intend to give us one of his prized Serama eggs!!!
