Nearly 3 Months Old, Can You Sex Please?

Really surprised that it could be a roo. When i was choosing which 1 to keep out of the 3 that i had, i went for the smaller of the 3 and it was the 1 with the smallest slimest comb, the other 2 were always chest bumping each other where as this 1 was the quiet 1 that never got involved in fighting. I let me friend take the other 2 a month ago thinking they would possibly be roos, now i feel dissapointed and wonder if i got rid of pullets.
I already have 3 roos, this silkie possibly makes 4 and another 2 unsexed silkies which seem identical to this 1 and a maran chick which i am almost sure roo aswel, i can only keep 1 roo and pray my neighbours do not complain as i would have to get rid of it if they did complain.

Just because it was smaller doesn't make it a hen or vice versa. This looks like a boy. My boy does not chest bump with my other boy. My girls fight more than my boys.

your guy doesn't have streamers yet. I am not sure the exact age you would start to notice them. The slicked back crest is very boyish. My girls have fluffy crests, where my rooster has a swept back kind of look.
 
I'd say it's a little cockeral. Here are pics of the white pullet I used to have at 4 months old.

Im probably wrong but I'm going with Pullet, the comb says girl and the head poof says roo, but really its young to tell for sure. I know that was no help was it. LOL sorry. The wattles are kinda big for a girl??? Heck I don't know. I could always tell mine from the comb pretty early but seems like the concensis is a male.
