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

serama cockerels are very quiet as cockerels go. Your neighbours may not even realise you have a cockerel. Mine just squawked when he crowed. My LF hens were way louder.
 
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 :)
Cockerel.
 
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!!!
Thank you!
 
Thank you!
OK @eggsnatcher, I weighed him. He weighs 99.5 grams. He is now almost 4 weeks old. He measured about 4 inches tall, but I think he is closer to 5" when he stands very upright. He loves to sit high up (on anything!) so he was kind of sitting and not cooperating when I got out the tape measure :p
