Hen or Roo?

I was going to rehome this silkie if it’s a rooster but I just can’t tell for sure.

Looks like a roo . His comb is quite large and so are his wattles . And I think I can see streamers on his crest .

The way you tell is that you lift it up by it's body. If the their claws retract, it's a rooster. If they are left dangling, it's a hen. Rooster are defensive. Hens are not. I was taught this at my local supplies store.
