Rooster or hen?

[Nikki71]

This is my five month old silkie. I am praying she’s a ‘she’ but her wattles and comb are quite developed. She is bossy and paces up and down in quite an agitated way. She is also loud but it’s a chicken clucking noise, not a crow. I’m so confused .
Please give me your best guess

Definitely a cockerel. Are you able to keep him?

Are you sure? I sent the photos to a few silkie breeders who all said female. Wouldn’t she/he be crowing by now?

I think it's a pullet at or near point of lay. The head poof is very rounded, body shape is rounded.

I promise to post in a few months when I know and we shall see . I really pray it’s a girl as Salt is my favourite in the group. The other silkies are much more sedate and timid. Salt marches up and down the coop fence, gobbling at me. She is desperate to free range. If I pick her up, she will sit peacefully on my lap for a cuddle.

Looks like a female to me.
