Hi I'm Back with an Update on My Mystery Silkie

[MysteryChicken]

At this point I'm still not totally sure about what gender she(hopefully) is. The first thread came to conclusion that it was looking like a girl but I wanted get your opinions now that she's older. There's no crowing or egg laying yet, and still with moderatly passive temperament. But I'm worried because of its wattles, what do you guys think?

Still looks like a cockerel.

Looks like maybe your Silkie developed some red over the wings which indicates cockerel. Hard to tell from that pic though.

Again, I am trash with Silkies. I'll try tagging the Silkie person again.

Thanks for the tag. Sorry, I missed this one earlier somehow!

Can you get some more photos in better lighting? The bird is part in shadow.
I am inclined to say cockerel because of the red.
Close-up of the comb would also be helpful.

Still inclined to say male, but a good side view photo, full body in natural light would clinch it for me.

Here it is!

at this point I'm pretty sure its a male , and I'm not allowed to keep roosters. Anyone want to trade lol?
