what is this silkies gender? It's about 5-6 weeks old.

with silkies it's really hard to tell, when it's head feathers come in it's easier or you could wait till they crow or lay an egg!

That isn't a Silkie, that's a Cochin. I'd wait a few more weeks for the gender. Cochin boys tend to get pretty red and large in the comb early on.

Agree, its a Cochin. It's comb and wattles look pretty red in the picture, it could be a cockerel. I'd wait a few weeks to be sure.
