I hope so, it is already atleast 8 months old... and the dad was way bigger... comb and wattles are really small, and my other rooster that I have in MD is young and really loud with a big comb... sigh I guess we will see tomorrow is there is an egg... what is the best way to tell on silkies??

the crest. i don't have a good picture, but a cockerel's crest will be sort of 'slicked back' i guess whereas a pullet's crest is set more evenly on the head. it's easier to tell with hatchery quality birds like yours is than with show silkies.
you picked a good match there, silkies and seramas usually get along great. i had a four week old serama i brought home from a chicken swap as a buddy for my four week old silkie. the silkie immedietly adopted the serama as her own, calling her over to food and everything. they're still pretty much inseperable even though both pullets are 7 months old now!
