Anyone want to take a guess on my 7 week old silkie?

Any guesses on our three 5 week old chicks, or is it too early?
Chick #1

Chick #2



Chick #3





I'm suspecting #1 might be a roo? They aren't normally in the sandbox - it was just an easy place to take pictures.

Maybe those are streamers on the head...so...BOY! That's my guess. Rooster.

This is Prim. She (hopefully!) is almost 8 weeks

a "rear view" she doesn't like getting her picture taken lol

Can anyone guess if these 2 chicks are going to be hens or roosters? I am unsure how old they are. The white one is a little bigger then the black one but I am unsure if they hatched at the same time or not.

I LOVE me some silkies! You know, the funny thing about silkies, just when you are 100% you have a rooster, "he'll" lay an egg. As soon as you're 100% you have a hen, "she'll" crow.... To me, honestly, they all look like they have streamers and are all roosters, but then maybe that means they're all hens. But the whitish one, may be a hen.... and the other 2 roos? Please post back to let us know when you find out for sure

On the 6th look

I say the little partridge looking one is a hen and the black and the silver/white/porcelain are both roos.
