Waaaaaaay to early to tell. Silkies can take forever to show their true gender.

Barred hen x non-barred roo = sex-linked chicks. From what I can tell, you have a little pullet.
It's such a little cutie-it has to be a roo.

I'd guess pullet as well.
I asked over on the sex link info thread. https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=8016273#p8016273
Being that the chick should be Sex-linked......if it has a white spot on top of its head---it's a boy.......if not---it's a girl. It is kind of hard for me to tell if it does or not from the lighting or maybe the blue color.

I don't see a white spot. Assume girl for now. (why can't I write "girl" in pink?)
