what gender does this 5 month old barred rock mix look

Pics
The father is not a Brahma, but a single combed cock. In the photo below a Silkie is partially visible, is the Silkie a cock? Could the Silkie be the father?

I’m asking because I hatched a White Silkie x Silver Laced Wyandotte and the chick had silver lacing

Hello. Update@ 10/20*** I heard him crow. I brought him in overnight to test to see, if it would crow and i heard a crow from my vacant+empty 'chick' room with just Rudy (the name of this fancy foot feathered rooster!) wow. I was leaning towards a pullet...but it crowed its a MALE! :0

Let us know the final verdict when you get either crowing or an egg.
Maybe it’s a hermaphrodite? :lau
Rooster- i put him alone last nite to see if i could get a verdict and i woke up to the former.. it, unisex, br mix, Rudy crowing! :0 i was leaning towards a pullet bc it is not aggressive like the father.i heard aggressive traits would be passed down from rooster to rooster..but this case is a cross not full blood .so sexing it is alot..harder and difficult..
 
No half barred rock/ half dark brahma bantam was.father

Update 4 genetic purposes : i totally forgot that he had a sibling with the same parents and the same hatch date.. but it only made it about approx one month maybe little longer or so until it died..but Rudy
was already over Triple the other ones size and the other one took after the dark banty brahma father more in looks and size
I think it was a pullet but we will never know...it was Adorable wish i could locate the photo of it.
 
Simple comb genetics prove a dark Brahma will never produce a single comb offspring.
You either have the wrong father or that dark Brahma is a Brahma cross of some sort.
