There is no way to tell what sex of silkie you have until it gets much older. I am still fooled sometimes at over 5 months of age!

Thanks and if by buff feathers you mean tan then yes some tan and some white!
 
S/he is likely a non-bearded, really light Buff Silkie or a non-bearded white. I am unsure of the gender, because Silkies are more difficult. The best method of sexing them, unfortunately, is often to wait until you get a crow or an egg.

As for the Japanese bantam, s/he does look rather roo-ish, because of the larger comb. Share a new picture of him/her either next week or the one after that, to see if the comb reddens and enlarges further.
