Hen or Roo?

[sweetleaf]

I've just been offered this gorgeous 5 1/2 month old golden Bantam. I reeeeeeeally want to take it but I really only can if it's a hen as I have a Silkie roo & I don't think he'd be overly impressed by the addition of another roo. My birds free range so I wouldn't really have many options for keeping them separated either.
So what do you reckon? Hen or Roo? Sorry, I know it's not the best picture but it's what I was sent. Or is there anything that I should specifically ask that could help identifying? It neither crows nor lays yet, lol, I've already asked!

From that pic with the amount of wattle and comb at 5.5 months on a silkie, and what you can see of the feathering, I would vote roo right now.

Thank you

Looks like a cockerel to me. If you want pullets, I wouldnt't buy this bird.

It looks like a cockerel to me too. I have a silkie that's about 5-6 months old, and her wattles are nowhere near that big.

Wonderful, thanks a lot. Sadly I'll have to tell the lady I can't take it Boo! It's a beautiful bird.

I agree with the others--it looks like a cockerel.
