another silkie gender ?

I think I've read on here how young females feathers on the head are different than males.

I've been watching my babies that hatched on May 11th and there's clearly a difference in them now. I have 2 possibly 3 that have nice round buffonts and 3 where the feathers are starting to point backwards like the adult roo.
Can't post pics from my phone but thinking/hoping these are girls b/c they are awesome looking....can't see eyes from the poofy on top.

You're right. The ones that have the feathers streaming back are the boys. There topknots tend to be just a bit smaller than the girls.
