Is this chick 50 or 100% Silkie?

[Ebz5003]

I have a 5 week old chick I hatched out of my incubator. I am wondering whether this chick could be 100% Silkie, or could it still only be 50% Silkie? Looking like a 100% Silkie to me, but would appreciate some advice! Also, does it look like a pullet or cockerel? In the 2nd picture, it is the blue chick in the front. Thank you.

Both parents of this bird carry at least one copy of the silkie gene. Do you have a silkie rooster? Any other type of rooster? For example, if you have one silkie rooster, and one rooster of a breed with regular feathers (most other breeds) then the father is the silkie because the other rooster wouldn’t carry the silkie gene. And besides that info, I do think it looks like a purebred silkie. I think it is still too early to tell on the gender, I wouldn’t be sure what to guess.

Thanks. I have 2 Silkie roosters: a Splash and a White, and a Buff Brahma rooster. I really doubt it is the Brahma because his chicks often have breakthrough red in their feathers. I have one Black Silkie hen. I am thinking possibly Splash Silkie rooster x Black Silkie hen?

This all sounds correct to me.
