Silkie cockerel or pullet? 3 months old

Only 14 chickens total. 3 boys (2 roosters and a cockerel) and now Easter a possibly boy so will be 4. .. I do have 2 coops, 1 rooster in with 2 girls in smaller coop.
Though ratio is thrown way out when there is mass broodies!
I have 14 silkies total.
 
How many hens do you have with all the boys? ... Although every rooster is different, some need /want more hens and some ok with just 1.
6 white hens, one in a separate coop.

2 Blue Partridge Pullets.

1 Blue Partridge rooster

1 Black Rooster

1 Partridge Rooster

4 white roosters, 3 are in a separate coop.
 
I have 14 silkies total.
Wow! Ok there is hope for mine to all get along maybe! .. the other night I found my seperated rooster escaped and roosting in the main coop! No blood or sign of fighting and all sleeping! ..I put him back in his coop where his hens still were. ... I do see them fight through the fence though..
It would make life easier if all were in the same coop!.. They only use half the roosting space available so there is room for flock expansion 😁

I have 2 silkie roosters I call frienemies, they both hang out with each other, & fight when they disagree with something. They always resolve it.
