It has been a while since this silkie was a chick, but now I am starting to second guess myself. She (for now at least lol) has yet to lay and egg, and fights with my other rooster. I havent heard any sounds from her though.The more I think about it, this silkie is definitely a rooster.

Not familiar with silkies but I do see the spur buds (which all chickens have) are looking more like spurs than just little nubs. I know some hens grow spurs but not very many. Comb looks plump, stance looks upright, tail feathers looks a bit long and upright for the average silky pullet too. So my vote is cockerel!
