I can usually figure out sex with no problems, but I'm stumped this time. This is my first Silkie. We have owned him/her since September, believing it is a cockerel. Lately I have been doubting that. No crowing (though he lives with a dominate showgirl roo), I did hear him singing an egg song this week and also scratching in the coop like making a nest

but the comb looks male to me. So silkie experts, I need help. Excuse his dirty face, dew and dirt baths have painted him LOL if you need more pictures, just let me know.

 
I would say definitely a pullet.
It's usually not accurate if you only look at one characteristic. I think the crest is the most reliable, and the presence of streamers, but if you say it's showing female behaviours too, then even more likely a pullet.
I've got silkies that I'm still trying to figure out what sex they are.
The best way to tell is to wait.
Good luck finding another rooster.
