Is this Silkie a rooster ?

I’m guessing this guy is a roof by his comb. But is my first time raising a silkie since a few days old and want to make it offciwlc

I think it is a Rooster but i'm not positive, i'm not a silkie expert I do have a silkie hen, maybe, and I posted pictures asking if it was a he or a she and most people said hen, they sent me lots of pictures and the roos all had big combs.

Thanks everyone. Reading more and I’m pretty sure he’s a roo because of his “streamers”

I'm going to say rooster because of the rust color on the wings. I have only seen that in male silkies. He's not crowing?

No not yet ! I have another silkie the same age as him and I’m guessing he’s a roo too. Neither are crowing ...guess I’ll wait another month or two before giving them away

That definitely looks like a cockerel.
