Silkie, male or female?

Here is a picture of my 9 week old Silkie! What are your thoughts? Male or female?

Young Silkies can be notoriously difficult to sex and I can't get your picture to enlarge which compounds the problem but based on what I can see, I'm thinking it's likely a cockerel. A close up of the head and face would definitely help though.

Looks like a pullet to me for now.

I am thinking cockerel but I am not sure at all. Silkies are hard sometimes.

Here is Silkie 2 weeks later. Does everyone still think Roo?

I have three silkies that look like this and three that look like the other. About 12 weeks old. The one without the puff on top are slightly larger in size. Roos or pullets?
