A bit early for that much red; in the wattles especially. They can blush though. Post a few updated pictures to this thread in a couple weeks.
 
I'm not saying that it's a cockerel yet. I do have reservations about that much color though. Could be that she's blushed from being caught and held. That's why it would be best to give us some updated pics in a couple weeks.

Silkies are notoriously hard to sex. You could try posting them in a separate thread asking for guesses.

Thank you
 
It's possible that she may still be a girl. Her comb and wattles are very red, but are still pretty small, especially for 2 months old. While it's a definite possibility that it's a roo, hang on to it for a few more weeks to a month to be sure. I've had a couple that were the same way with me that DID turn out to be hens that just got very red quickly (with small combs)
