Silkie — pullet or cockerel?

[purplechicken7]

Any clue as to whether this little Silkie is a pullet or cockerel? I assume it's around 4-5 months old but it's neither crowed nor laid an egg.

Cockerels stand up REALLY tall like the own the world. Pullets stay low to the ground. I think it's a pullet.

I'd say pullet but if you look at its crest there are some feathers that stick out the back which happens to cockerels crests plus when I look at it it just feels very masculine. I say cockerel.

Looks like a pullet to me.

Silkies blossom late. I think it was 8 months before I got my first egg. I think it's a pullet.

I've got mixed feelings between pullet and cockerel. I'm leaning more towards cockerel but I'm unsure.

Pullet.

I think pullet but, would be more definite, IF I could see the crest pulled back to show off entire comb. It's looking wide for a pullet.

My thoughts exactly. It does have a wide comb. I will take better pics when I can. Another thing that has me thinking its a cockerel is that it was chasing my turken pullet around yesterday. It was acting like it had intentions of breeding.
