I'd say the first one looks to be a female and the other a male. I am going by the line above the beak, the future comb. They do seem young but now is the time to give them names. Is it fair to say 'grey' and 'black'? Or gray and darker one? The black feathered cutie is male and the way they present themselves photogenically.. girl silkies are more show offish than males I had a Japanese bantam rooster once. But that's just my personal experience. Years ago. Your boy the last two photos he's saying away from the camera. Or she's just hungry if I'm wrong. Time will tell. I haven't been 100% right in my guesses on my own birds. But that's another story. Having feathered feet doesn't mean both birds are automatically girls. Did you order pullets or st run? Farm stores aren't always accurate at selling all or mostly hens.
I feel like the blue one Daisy stands low to the ground like a hen but the pink that's coming in makes me nervous and the other one the sliver laced Miss poppers stands taller like a rooster but no pink coming in so I'm really confused
Personally, stance and attitude is not reliable for gender guesses... way more of my young pullets and even hens, will chest bump and square off just like a male would...
Obvious and bright pink before 10 weeks though is usually very reliable indicator of male hormones going into 'puberty'... males do physically mature much faster than females...
And I think you're correct, the black does look like a silver laced...
