Pullet actually means a young hen, up to 1 year of age, not dependant on egg laying.
Does a silkie pullet have any kind of a comb and wattles?

Ah, but someone in other thread says that thing to me, but I believe that he/she's wrong
Oh, I forgot that my dad said my silkie crowed maybe a week ago, …but I saw it with my own eyes yesterday morning (±9am) he crowed so loud for maybe 5 times but didn't crow for the rest of the day

Young chicken of unknown sex starts to crow = rooster.
If you would like further confirmation, upload some photos of this bird. However if it is crowing at that age I can just about guarantee that you have a rooster.

I'm a bit confused by your questioning then - if you knew which was which why are you asking about the sex of 6 month old silkies?
the one in the front, yep he's a cokcerel, his name is jonah, the one in the back Jennette, she's a gorgeous pullet, she don't have comb and wattles, that makes it obvious she's a pullet.

Could someone help with sexing my six week old Silkie? I know it's early in the game and that silkies are hard to sex, but any first impressions?

It helps to start your own thread. This one was originally from 2011. Anyhoo. If that chick were in my flock, I'd tag it as a boy and keep an eye on it. Silkies aren't supposed to have red combs, though it does happen, but color coming in on a chick as young as yours is usually an indication of a cockerel (in most breeds, not just Silkies).
It's really too young to say for sure.
