3 month old silkies- male or female??

3 mos. is too early to sex silkies, I'd guess the first is a male, the second I don't know because it has a straight comb and it should be a walnut one. I don't know therefore if it is too large a comb for a young female- being dark it's not going to redden if/when she nears point of lay.
 
I let them out to run the coop today, so here they are in their more natural stance, alternative photos of Chicken One (Headshot)

At the very least, if impossible to sex before they're crowing or laying, they're a hoot to watch and so, so adorable! Their 5 toes crack me up.

I don't know :( I only had the two, but I had a lapse in my schedule one night and forgot to close my chicken coop. Despite not having had any predator problems or a chicken loss since I got my older fowl in March, I ended up losing both of them that night. :(
