Yeah my

He's good looking, if not perfectly marked. one of these cockerels needs to be gone ASAP; your little Silkiie is totally overmatched here.

He's always gotten along with all the hens, he's just a jerk to me...until tonight when when they were roaming around the back yard and all a sudden he chase my silkie until she ran back in the coop, I've never seen it do that...and then it tired to mount my legbar it hasn't even let a crow out yet

If he's human aggressive, that's reason enough to have him gone, and he's not a good fit at all with your Silkies.

Definitely a cockerel!

I empathize with your dilemma of having to re home him. If you can not, would you be willing to slaughter him? As sad as that may be, sometimes that is a decision we all have to make at some point.
I hope you can separate him from your sweet little Silky. I am afraid he will really injure her then, you will really be sad.
Good Luck
