Cockerel or hen? also what breed?

[List Chicks]

11 week old (so we were told) silkie x (easter egger + wyandotte). mother is i i 5hink an easter egger wyandotte and dad is a silkie roo.

wed like to know if its a rooster (we are in denial because we want to keep him/her) its such a beautiful chicken... green sheen to its feathers. as a chick it was almost all white.

the pic below is from yesterday. we noticed some really pointy feathers growing.. but upon closer inspection, they kinda look round but the pattern makes a point.

we‘d like to know if this is a silkie, easter egger wyandotte breed.. and if its male or female..

we've also included some younger photos of the chick from 5 days to 11 weeks as well as the mom and dad.

thank you everyone in advance!

hello @List Chicks - welcome to BYC
He is indeed very handsome, but I think he is a he, as you suspected.

a silkie, easter egger wyandotte breed

a mix like this is not a breed. Your mathematically inclined

silkie x (easter egger + wyandotte)

is probably the best way to describe him
