I am new to chickens, but I have silkies and my understanding is they are almost impossible to sex, not sure who told you otherwise. When I ordered them they came just a straight run, only one site I looked at offered them sexed and I believe they must have vent sexed them.
Mine I had no idea who was what until they were about 4 months old, then I could start to tell some of the males.
