Do silkie and EE crosses have the right genetics for feather sexing?

[FowlWitch]

The roo was a silkie, and the hens are Easter Eggers. I assumed I could feather sex the chicks, but after reading more, I'm unsure. (Hope I'm asking in the right place)

Not really, since Easter Eggers are mutts and do not have a consistent feather type.

That kind of makes me feel better actually. Thank you
