Roo or hen?

This is Fawkes. He/she is about 3 1/2 weeks old now and I jusy love him/her. What do you think?
Roo or Hen. Can you tell at this age?

I'm gonna guess Girl.

That would make sense. She's the drama queen and Diva of the group. I thought Silkies were suppoes to be super mellow and friendly. This one is a freak.

I have 3 silkie chicks that are a few weeks old, I have a white silkie and he doesn't really like me either. He just pecks my fingers?

I have a Buff Silkie and a Partridge Silkie. I'm hopeing the Buff Silkie is a hen because s/he is so cute and tiny.

I don't have silkies, but I've read here that it takes a REALLY long time to be able to determine sex.
