Hello. I have 4 silkies, and this is one of them. I am pretty sure it is a cockerel, but I'm not sure. All of the other silkies have laid eggs, and also look blatantly different from the supposed cockerel. This chicken has not crowed. So what gender is it? I have attached several pictures with different perspectives.

Thanks in advance.

I will go get a picture of the face (if I can, there is a lot of fluff). He/she is about ~5 and a week old.
 
How old is it? If it's old enough to be laying eggs, that sure looks like a female. The roos have streamers on their head and usually some flowy saddle feathers. If it's still younger (like under 2-3 months) it's probably a male.
