sex a silkie, how to?

Like other breeds the comb size and wattle size can tell a boy from a girl. They dont get red but cockerel combs get much bigger much earlier.
Crests can also indicate sex as females tend to have fuller, rounder crests and males have spikier or more sparse or straggly crests.
Thirdly females tend to have a lower carriage whereas males tend to stand more upright and taller. Generally males will be larger and more confident/aggressive.
