Is it male or female?

Hello, two weeks ago I bought this chicken, the man who sold it said that it is a grown female so I trusted him. I know it is not a regular silkie as you can see she doesnt have black comb. She doesnt crow and my other rooster is treating her like female. And also for me she act like chicken (not interest in other females). Currently I am trying to catch her while laying an egg. What do you think it is?

In what ways does the rooster treat her like a hen?

I think it is male, going by its looks alone. If it lays an egg then I'm happy to be wrong.

I meant that he doesn't attack her and he calls when he finds food. Is it possible that he didn't recognize her as a rooster?

Oh no This is my first „silkie”, does the roosters are more calm? This chicken doesnt crow and act like doesnt care about hens (digs in the ground for himself, eats what he finds, doesnt call hens). Maybe it is normal with silkies? I am really worried

He is definitely a male. Your seller probably passed off an unwanted cockerel as a pullet He very clearly has streamers on his crest and saddle feathers.

Possibly. It’s been a while since I had multiple rooster.

I also think you have a rooster.
Roosters can act less dominant if another rooster is present in the flock. For example, I have a flock that has one main rooster and 3 younger cockerels (almost a year old). Only one of those young cockerels acts like a rooster, calling hens and crowing. The two others (a Silkie and a mixed breed bantam) don't show any of the usual rooster behaviors, other than undoubtedly looking like roosters.
So it's possible your Silkie isn't behaving like a rooster because you already have another rooster in the flock.

Okey then Anyway he is so sweet so he is staying with me. I Think I will buy him some silkie hens. When I saw him with the seller I felt bad becouse he wasnt in good condition so I decided to buy him. Maybe he is not a hen but living good life now
