10 week old USA Silkie

I know it's hard to tell with silkies, but I think this one is a pullet!

We can guess pullet, but chances are we're 50% correct. Three months we can barely tell, four months old we can pretty much tell. I've got some four month olds and two of them I still am not positive on. Five months old is when it's certain what sex they are.

Might be.

Thank you, I have 8, this one, a blue, a black (10 weeks) and 5 buff (5 weeks). Will do a photoshoot at 5 months and see what people think. I think the blue and black are roosters.

I can't get a good look at the comb in those pictures. But flat and narrow is what you're looking for in a Silkie pullet of this age. A raised and wider comb would indicate a male at 8 weeks.
