I have some 12w old silkies. One is developing much quicker than the others. They look exactly the same except one is getting a purple face, comb, and waddles.

Too soon to yell gender yet?
Three look exactly like this but without as much color development in the face.

The silkie guessing game.....

Cockerel!
 
I have a 12 week silkie, but mine is so much smaller than yours. Mine has no comb or wattles.

Yours looks like a small version of my neighbor's silkie roo, but I think for you it's maybe too early to say. Cute chicken either way :)
 
I think so too.
Whats so odd though is that the 4th silkie has a huge puffy round head and is much smaller so I thought that was a pullet but yesterday she started making what I would call clucking noises that sound like its getting ready to crow.
 
Here's a few of the one with the super puffy head

Here's some of the rest for comparison. You can see how they look alike except most don't have any sort of comb starting except the one.
