Yes, age would help. It could be a budding cockerel, or just a puller with a red comb.
I agree with ashtree, breed it back to a nice Silkie and you'll keep more Silkie traits. I started from scratch too, its been a really fun project! I still have some tweaking to do, but my Sizzles get better with every generation!
Good luck!
