Silkie cockerel or pullet? 3 months old

You need to be realistic.

Quite apart from the male comb, tail and very obvious streamers, the wing colour pattern is genetically impossible for a female to have .

I love my roosters

Kiwi is one of my roosters. He's the top roo. He's been my "special girl" since hatching (or even before that when his egg wiggled at my voice). Although he's usually busy protecting, crowing and mating, he's a huge cuddler and a sucker for a lap nap!

Pickles is a few hours older than Kiwi. But Kiwi's in charge! Pickles isn't usually on the cuddly side, but he's really funny. He sneaks into the house (and poops XD), tries to attack feet (not in an aggressive way though), stuffs his face with food, and runs like a lunatic.

My little Roberta's (4 months old) wing color pattern reminds me very much of little Easter's - I am convinced Roberta is a girl? ...am I wrong?...

The red on Roberta's shoulders, the long sickle tail feathers, droopy back saddle feathers and long neck feathers make me think Roberta is actually a ROBERT!

Oh wow!
Several days ago I found out my Babette is a Kasimir (he started crowing).

By the sounds of what @PippinTheChicken said it looks like Roberta is a boy then, even though I see no streamers?

Wow really!? So any that have red leakage on the wings are boys, full stop?
