Partridge silkie gender

[Hannahnic14]

This is Taco! My newly acquired silkie. 10 weeks old. I'm 99% sure it's a girl, but wanted some expert opinions! (Honestly I'm trying to see if I'm any good at this whole sexing thing) I think partridge silkies have gender specific coloring? Not positive on that though.

Need a few more good comb pictures to tell.

@LadiesAndJane I agree with @ChickenWhisperer101 though.

Males tend to be a bit brighter/redder, but that's not 100% certain

Yay!! I have another partridge silkie pullet that's still little bitty (I had her dna tested) so I was hoping for another one!

Pullet!
Partridge is one of the few silkie colors that have gender specific traits. The males will get the cockerel typical darker red patches over the wings.
