Gender, Age, Color, the whole package. What is she?

This little sweetheart came from craigslist. I'm planning on giving her to my friend who just lost her silkie.

I know that this is a silkie, but I don't know his/her age, gender, and most of all, color.

 

I know gender may be a long shot, but I thought I may as well ask. I'm more concerned about his/her age and color right now.

Any ideas?

Age...I would say maybe 5 weeks.

Not sure on gender.

Her color is really interesting, maybe some kind of a mix. I would say splash but the brown throws me.

Really pretty silkie though!

to me it looks like a silkie mix because of lack of black comb and beak, As for gender and age.... id say a month or two old and a possible roo. But i could be wrong... idk color

What's the reasoning behind cockerel? Is it his/her prominent comb?

Hmmm, that's too bad. I was really hoping for a pullet there. But as soon as I saw the comb, I was a little skeptical. Oh well, he looks like he'll turn out to be a pretty bird.
