Hi,
I had a broody Silkie EE and my neighbor gave me a fertilized egg.
Here is the chick at 14 weeks. I need to know if it is a roo or not. I am new to chickens and have not had a roo before - and really am unsure I want a roo. Hoping you can help identify that from these pictures. Along with any ideas on the breed it could be too

Can you get clearer pictures? Especially of the head. It is likely a cross-breed cockeral (the red in the shoulders are more typically a male coloring)
Thank you. Yes here they are.
If I don’t want a roo what can I do for it to be rehomed or prepped for a meal when older?
