Im not sure at all with silkies so i hope somebody who knows can help you but i think (again not 100%) that they are a bit too young to sex.
They are much too young to sex but, I am seeing a lot of BIG combs at this age - possibly males. Are different chicks in all photos or some with a few pictures of one bird. It would be good if you could number the photos - so we could tell if 2 or 3 pics. are of ONE bird.
Generally silkies cannot be sexed with any accuracy before 4-5 mos. of age or not till they crow or lay. Polish breed is much the same way.

How many chicks, thinking you got a white, buff & blue/black? They are too young & Silkies are hard to sex but I'm going to stick my neck out and hopefully you'll let us know who crows & who lays 
The white & buff I'm guessing Cockerels the blue/black Pullet....GUESSING by the puff on their head & size of the comb. I've read the Pullets have round puffs whereas the Cockerel "pointy" but I'm no expert and they are young still.

I think the buff is a cockerel and the white is suspicious, but like others have said it's a bit early yet.
I think the buff and black are cockerels (less certain on the black). I can't tell either way with the white.

The white is a girl. The buff a boy. And we're pretty sure the black is also.a girl
