9-10 week old silkie sexing

Well this is Tiny I think it's a girl she definitely is the lowest on the pecking order. Her demeanor seems to be very feminine there's no aggression in her whatsoever. Am I looking at a girl? She's about 10 weeks old now I've been told I need to wait longer but took some good pictures of her last night.

She looks female to me but I am not expert! But I do have silkies, the poofy head and. No streamers

What are streamers LOL.

Streamers are longer hairs in the back of the puff on their heads it's a sure sign it's a male

Silkies are hard too sex. I don’t count my hens till they actually start laying (sometimes a young cockerels don’t crow if there is a dominant rooster around) In my experience my cockerels start crowing before they start getting comb or streamers. My cockerels also tend to be friendlier ones of the group, that run up to me to see what I have and don’t mind being picked up. These are just a few things I observed with my first flock I grew out last year.
