Farm store Silkie, single comb and has wattles at 6 weeks! It’s a Roo, right?!?!??!?

This is my first silkie, not great quality as it has a single comb. It started to form wattles by at 4 weeks! I get they are very hard to determine gender, sometimes not till a crow or egg. But would it be safe to assume that this is a Roo at this point, or would the single comb genetics possibly cause the early wattles cause this as well?

Hate to stick my neck out on a silkie, but that sure looks like a cockerel.

I'll have to say cockerel

even though it is a silkie it still has a single comb and that single comb and wattles say cockerel

Thanks everyone! I’ll still wait for a crow or egg, but until then, he’s going to be my little man!!
