Can anyone tell me the sex of this Silkie?

I have 3 types of silkies from 3 different places. My hatchery birds ar very skittish but not mean, they are non-bearded. I have 2 white bearded that look like yours, and they are pretty aggressive with the others. The last 4 I got are the SQs. I got them from a breeder.They are the ones that you cant even see their eyes, they are so fluffy. And they are the ones that behave the way everybody raves about. VERY docile. Very slow and laid back. They arent in a hurry to get anywhere. They come up to you and sit on your feet to be petted. I plan from now on to ONLY get them from SQ breeders.
 
My little silkie hen (she's smaller than my silkie pullets) is #2 in my flock. Most of my standard hens will not cross her. I've seen her defend an australorp 3x her size from my BO/EE. She went ninja chicken, jumped on her back and started pecking her head. Then she chased her outside the coop and around the corner. It doesn't hurt that she's the roo's girl and the head hen has always spoiled her and will back her up when she's pecked off more than she could chew. Right now she has three chicks, so she's even worse. She attacked the landowners pit-mix, who had the unfortunate timing of walking nearby with it's master. Poor thing had to leave because she wouldn't stop going at him. On the other hand my two silkie pullets are the sweetest things. They like to ride around on our shoulders.

Here she is...

P.S. One of her nicknames is "The Little Tyrant".
