Is this silkie a rooster?

Thanks for the response! Maybe around 3 months? It’s brother started crowing a couple weeks ago and is obviously male so this one just kinda throws me off!

With that amount of comb and wattle development at 3 months, it's a cockerel in my opinion.

That’s a cockerel. No way that’s a pullet with a walnut comb that big already.

You’re right, I didn’t zoom in on the pictures! That is a large comb and wattles for 12 weeks. For comparison, here’s a pic of a 12 week old boy I have right now. He’s already crowing. (Btw he is 3/4 silkie so not as typey as your baby but still looks similar to a silkie) His comb and wattles look to be a similar size as your 12 week old.

Thank you!! He’s part of a project I’m working on for blue egg laying silkies.

It looks like probably a cockerel to me, the waddles are a little too big and red to be a pullet.
