Another Rooster???

[Silkieslopsprops]

No crow yet, but I did see it do the little rooster wing dance at one of my older hens. I never noticed a hen do the wing thing, so maybe it was just copying the roosters. I am totally striking out, every chick i grow out ends up being a rooster

Hatched 6-19

It looks more pullet-like to me just based on the feathers near the tail; they are more curly and rounded and not long and thin. Just my opinion though.

Mmmm, I'd be watching like a hawk to catch it a second time, just to make sure I knew what I was seeing. Things like that can't really be copied; it's more programmed into their DNA. Can't tell if I'm also seeing streamers in the first picture. Don't give up until you hear a crow, but I'd certainly be suspicious.

Sorry you've had such bad hatching odds!
