She has the smallest crest of any of my silkies but her children all have the biggest.

She's a nice colour! Do you trim their crests so they can see? I just did that a couple of days ago with my two, and it was comical watching them crane their necks and inspect everything!
I have a sexing question - I think. My two Silkies were hatched in June, so they're about 4 months old. When I got them they were the same size. Just recently in the past month I notice that my partridge one is getting bigger and huskier than the white one, who's kind of slim and scrawny. Are roosters bigger and heavier than hens? Or could it just be genetics? I don't know if they're related to each other, though I got them from the same place. I don't think the white one is sick or underfed, I check their crops every day when I handle them and they're always full. They have a box for hiding or nesting in their pen, and both of them have started using it more. Do roosters sit inside nesting boxes with the hens?
