4 week old silkie. hen or cockerel ?

You don't have enough posts to put up a picture yet. Though trying to determine the sex of a 4 week old silkie is difficult.

There isn't really a way to tell with the provided photo. You need an individual shot of the bird in question. A full body shot from the side, and a clear closeup of the face and comb. BUT, being a silkie, they are usually very difficult to tell gender on until they're much older. I have a 5 month old silkie that is currently stumping me.
You definitely need a better picture but I'm not sure if anyone will be able to tell at this age.
 
I have two silkies and thankfully ended up with one of each sex. I couldn't tell until they were about 3 1/2 months old. (Just to give you an idea of how long it takes on silkies) Also, there is a thread for just silkies that you could post your pictures on that would give you guesses, but that's all they would be at this point!
