Silkie pullet?

[Fluffy Lambs]

This is probably silly to ask with a 4.5 month old Silkie, I used to think it was a cockerel but now I'm thinking pullet? Silkies really confuse me! But (s)he's definitely not as roo-ish as some other ones that I know are cockerels. @MysteryChicken

Cockerel. Slow to grow cockerel.

Ok thanks!

Ok thanks!

You're welcome.

I'm thinking rooster.
The comb is to big and the tail is too long

I think his development is being slowed by the other dominant roosters. Update us in a few weeks

I don’t know guys. This could still be a pullet. It would not be unheard of to be close to POL at this age. I have a 5 month old pullet that suddenly got a bigger comb and is squatting already.
I also vote waiting it out a few more weeks.

He has streamers coming in, & a reddish shoulder patch.

I've had cockerels squat before, just to note that.

I think cockerel as @MysteryChicken said

It is a cockerel! I checked for spurs this morning, and it has small ones growing in. And I don't know if all you guys notice a difference in the way your pullets and cockerels sound (like when they cluck), but this one sounded like a cockerel to me.
