What gender is this silkie? quality?

[Khattak]

I have this silkie aged 6 month or so.. Can any expert confirm the gender? Also comment on the quality of the birds..
Few points..
- It's not laying or crowing..
- I bought that new rooster and they are not fighting

At 6 months that's a pullet I think. It's average quality, probably hatchery sourced? Though some hatcheries have better silkies than others.

Pullet, pet quality.

Could be too early. Generally roosters will start mating hens about a month before they start to lay. Some silkies can take until 7-8 months to start laying eggs.
