Pullet or Cockerel? Golden Comet hen x Gray Silkie roo

[Lesleyhg]

This is peep. His mom was a Golden Comet, and dad was a Gray silkie roo. Raccoons got his parents but my awesome Americauna has raised him. Initially, because he is white, I thought he was a roo. However, peep doesn't crow and I see no tail feathers like a roo. Peep is just over 16 weeks old. Pullet or cockerel? Either way, we are keeping Peep.

Looks like a pullet, but can we get some closer pictures of the comb and saddle area?

I'd say pullet.

Why did you think cockerel because it was white?

Pullet.

Was going to say pullet, but then changed my mind. If father was a silkie and mother was a Comet, then this bird should be melanistic sexlinked. Looks like it has light shanks and beak. Does it have light skin? (look under the wings). I am holding out my opinion until I see better photos of comb and saddle area.
I am so sorry you lost the parents.

Pullet. Better pictures could help, but I am fairly certain.

Right, I'm just trying to figure out why white meant cockerel.

I guess golden comet roos are white. That's why I thought that.
