6w old silkie gender based off comb method?

[kalerae15]

This baby very much gives off roo vibes just based off of the insane straight stand up posture they always seem to have. I have another silkie who’s much smaller, but from the same hatch. She doesn’t stand up near as straight as this guy. What are we thinking based off of the comb?

It's pretty wide, that typically indicates male.

I feel like his started to show much quicker than my suspected girl.

This is the one I suspect is a girl. But I could be totally wrong. Her comb is so much smaller than his though I feel
