Silkie cockerel or pullet? 3 months old

Pics
Hi ForTheLoveOfSilkies, is there any news from sweet little Easter? New observations regarding his/her behaviour and the adults' behaviour towards the little one?
Hi Chickeria, still the same behaviour but Easter seems to look more like a cockerel esp the tail... I'll take some more pics today.
I do wonder if Easter will look similar to my main Rooster (who I want to retire from the job) Rooster is great with the hens but is very skittish with humans whereis I can pat my other rooster Biscuit and Cookie rooster is also good with humans.

😍He is beautiful and an impressive boy! A lot of his coloring reminds me of Easter - I wouldn't be surprised if Easter would look very similar as an adult if being a boy.
I remember the pictures of Biscuit and of Cookie sitting on your feet 🥰 I fully understand if friendlyness is an importand criteria when choosing the ones to be bred.
 
Well this is the end of it, Easter is a submissive cockerel that doesn't crow (yet) A gorgeous fluffy one I wish I could keep 😢 - well I may keep him if I can make the decision to get rid of Rooster instead of Easter - which probably means cull 😢
His comb isn't huge yet but I guess it will grow.

Maybe you could get rid of your rooster on Craigslist or something instead of culling! I am sure lots of other people would love to have him!😉

He doesn't fertilise anymore for some reason and he's quite skittish so not good for a cuddly pet, so if I sold him they probably would kill him and eat him or not look after him well, so better that I kill him humanely if I am going to get rid of him.
