When will he gain confidence?

[KikiDeAnime]

Our Silver partridge bantam silkie rooster named Silver is around 5 months old and he still hasn't gained enough confidence. He acts like everything is going to kill him and is terrified of the hens.
Yesterday he tried to go near one before it looked up at him and he took off running away from it

Anything I could do to help?
When should he gain enough confidence?

Err... I'm actually going to say that's good?

I happen to like a timid cockerel far better than I like the alternative. Give him time to mature.

How long has this bird been in with the hens...and how old are the hens?

Well he hasn't actually lived with them yet. I've been slowly been getting them use to him by keeping him in a separate yard next to them. Sometimes I have been letting him free range with them so that if they attack him, he can run to hide somewhere.
5 of the hens are 2 yrs old, 2 of the hens are 1 yr old, and the last 3 are around 6-7 months old.

Well, then you'll have to wait.
Are there any other males in this mix?

Nope.
There would have been him and his brother but we sadly lost his brother not too long ago to an accident and he was upset the first few days with him refusing to eat.
