What gender is this?

I just got a 6 month old silkie/Cochin mix. They said she's a rooster, but she looks like a hen to me. What gender is she?

It's definitely a cockerel

Looks more like a rooster to me can you get a good photo of the saddle feather area just before the tail? There should be pointy feathers there if this is indeed a rooster. Technically a cockerel as it is under one year of age.

Never mind I can see them in the first photo. Missed it the first time. Definitely a cockerel.

Cockerel.

But he looks awfully similar to my wyandotte hen

Does your hen have male specific color leakage and saddle feathers?

I don't think so
