at the age you have said its unlikey you can tell the sex of a silkie you can sex them around 16-17 weeks old and if you dont have a cockerel/rooster then she could be taking the roll of a cockerel/rooster
in a flock the cockerel is the look out the protector but if you dont have one them one of the females will take that roll

I have to say...any time my chicks have chest-bumped, they have been roo's
I just hatched out 4 chicks and they ALL chest bump! Sure enough, I checked and they are all boys. Sigh...
We just found out that one of my chicks is a roo. Roos arent alowed here, so we already said bye bye....
You can tell alot sooner than 16 weeks! Mine were crowing before that and their feet, combs and wattles are bigger than a hens!
