Got your note...Looks like a roo to me. You have the beginnings of male feathering on the head and tail.
On the head the feathering starts to swoop back ---what I call -aka " elvis impersonation". You can see it in pics 4-7 --just starting.
In pics 5-7 you can see male feathering starting to show. In a female the tail feathering as a whole is going to be more rounded with
the whole section having more volume from top to bottom( north to south).
In a male the feathering starts to elongate to form a plumage like a waterfall so his will be longer from his but outward or( east to west).
When it comes to the kicking your other sillkie, male hormones are starting to kick in and little one is figuring things out. Your other females will keep him in line till he is old enough to strut his stuff. Remember with silkies roos the earlier you start handeling them the easier it is to get them in line. All my boys had love lavished on them from time of chick and eack one was a lush and puddy in my hands.
