For Silkies you don't look at the saddle feathers. You look at the head feathers. Males will have "streamers" coming out of their head feathers. It makes them look like they're slicked back. At that age though, it's too hard to tell. You will have to wait a while longer.

Saddle feathers are the feathers that come before the tail. They are along the end of the back.
For the roosters, they are long and pointy. Hens are rounded.
