That's too young to be definitive on looks as I was trying to see by the tails. Even if you try judging by the comb, I one silkie hen people would say was a rooster if just going by that. I'm leaning toward the splash being the roo though I could be very wrong.

Could you separate them for a few hours so the next time one crows you'll know which one did it?

They sure are cute!
