Why are my chickens (hen and rooster) brawling?

[Puddingtheamericana]

i was sitting in the coop and suddenly, out of nowhere, for no reason, our 4 month old silkie hen and a silver sebright rooster started fighting. they’d face each other, walk in a circle parallel of eachother for a bit, then attack, and repeat.

they stopped for a bit and then started it again. i put the hen in the coop to separate them and now i’m here.
anyone know why their fighting?

i searched it up and i couldn’t find anything, we’re quite sure that the silkie is a hen and not a rooster, seeing as she has never crowed and our silver sebright loves to crow. is my silkie a rooster? is this some sorta mating dance? helllp

Sounds like your silkie is probably a rooster.....I have several silkie roos and they haven't crowed because my cochin is the dominant rooster.

X2...... Isn’t crowing because the Sebright is dominant...... maybe post pictures to clarify?

these are them, tiny rooster and fluffy hen? honestly at this point i don’t know if their a male or female

Your sebright is definitely a rooster and from what I can see of the comb on your silkie, he is too
