can anyone tell if it is a boy or girl

Looks like a Hen but as stated a better face picture would make it a lot easier to tell

Looks like a pullet , you will just have to hope that crest poofs more. Sounds like your other hen has a prolapsed vent. Clean the area down and apply a good hemaroid cream .

My almost-3 week old Silkie has had the same issue. I've been cleaning & using the hemorrhoid cream. She finally seems to be starting to grow out if it.

So long as you catch it early she will heal. The best thing to do is separate her from the others because it's only a matter of time before they notice it and start pecking at it. There are several causes, overly large eggs, laying too early, calcium deficiency and under weight hens are the most common.
Be sure to clean the clocoa inside and out with an antiseptic wash, let it dry , then apply a hemaroid cream that doesn't have pain relievers ending in ' Caine '
Here's an article with pics .
