what kind of silkie is this and is it a hen or roo?

[luvchicks8]

I am new to chickens and I bought this chick at a chicken swap honestly he/she was so homely it was cute, I'm not sure how old this chick is either. These pics were taken today so there recent. Also I had to add my polish hen as she was posing so nice for the camera. Thanks sorry pics didnt attach I hope this works.

Is there a way to tell the age? Or if it is a hen or roo?
