Does the blue shine on the waddles indicate sex at all on silkies? i have 2 white silkies that are about 6 weeks old that are developing a "blue shine" on what looks like possible wattles. and i noticed in the online poultry show for silkies that there were some with the blue on them but i think all were female. or am i just being stupid?
i'm trying to figure out sex but i cant on the silkies.

ok. i just noticed it mostly on the white ones. but ok. i was hoping it was indicative of females. i just read a post on here about how silkie females have more rounded poofs & the males have more of a spiked back kind of poof. i hope that is true because i cant make heads or tails out of whose comb is wider. but then again my silkies are only 7 weeks old.
