I know these are really hard to sex. Any ideas on this one?

I would guess pullet, but I'm really not sure.
It looks like a pullet to me.

Hi there,
It's actually a little too early to tell. If you had other Silkies of the same age, that would be a better way to compare. With that being said, and of course with a margin of error, based on what I'm seeing in the photos you provided, this looks like a Blue Silkie pullet (hen).
Good luck!

Great, thanks everyone! Hoping for pullets and only my white one of the same age has started crowing so I am hoping this is a pullet!
Is this a hatchery bird? I wouldn't render an opinion this early. It may be my vision but, looks like it has some" hard "feathers

Yes it is a hatchery bird and all of my Silkies from the hatchery have hard feathers on the ends of the wings unfortunately.
