That would be their wattles. Female Silkies do not get that much growth until a LOT later.

Raised combs and presence of wattles in 10 week olds. Females will remain quite flat until shortly before laying age (usually 5+ months in Silkies).
In bearded birds the wattle growth will be inhibited by the bearding gene. So if wattles are present in a young bird with a beard, even more indication that it is male.
