Silkie Gender Guessing Game!

[CayugaMama]

Anyone have a guess on the sex of these 2? They are 8 weeks old.

I was able to tell mine apart by posture. I can't quite see theirs, but if you want to look the males are more upright and proper while the girls look like their squatting. Now that I look back at the pics though the white is definitely a male and black is a female. The combs are so different, are they the same age?

 

[CayugaMama]

That is kind of what I was thinking. The white one puffs up his/her chest when I put my hand in the cage!
They are the same age! Both 8 weeks today.
The white one is non-bearded, and the black one is bearded. So I think that also contributes to confusion! But, yes, their combs are very different!

BUMP! I would love to hear any other guesses!

White one is a Cockerel, definitely.
Black one is probably a pullet but it's quite young.

Thank you! Glad to here there is a consensus

Any ideas on these two 10-week-olds?

From what I can see in the combs/ears, right male left female

 

[Matilda Belle]

White one is a boy. The black is too young to tell.

Left seems to look like a pullet, but I need a close up picture.
Right is definitely a Cockerel.
