I would also say female. But could you possibly get some more up close and clearer pictures of her please!

Silkies are known for being difficult to definitively sex until they are around 5 months old, but we're all 50% correct until then.

Sometimes cockerels crow as early as 3 months, but pullets won't lay until they're around 8-10 months.

Back to your question though, I see no streamers yet so I lean pullet just based on that. What's the comb look like? That again is tough as I have a silkie hen everyone would guess was a roo if that's all they could see of her, but the silkie cockerels usually get what's called a walnut comb, kind of wide and squished.

I will post some better pics in the morning. 50 % correct is so true as long as they identify as pullets I'm super happy
