Ok, starting over with new photos, I'll put each one in a new reply.

This is Silvis, grey leg band. I noticed this one doesn't have pointy saddle feathers (too young) but they sure are droopy, not sure if that might indicate anything.

Einio, orange leg band, darker legs, no comb development, getting extra B vitamins to try and help her unsteadiness. Pretty sure this is a pullet.

Apparently Microvenator skipped the photo session, I only got this one partial shot (right most chick), but it has the most wattles of any of them.

We're we live we can have roosters, so I'm not pressed to know what they are immediately, I have time to wait. I just don't have the accommodations for my existing rooster, plus 3 SLW roos, plus maybe 3 silkie roos 😨
 
11 wk old update - Micro, I'm still thinking it's likely a cockerel. It has the solid back patch on the back of its neck and has the biggest / reddest wattles of the bunch.

Hmm, this is a tough one.
There's a chance it's a pullet? I would love if it is, it has the best looking lacing so far of the 5. 2 have terrible looking lacing, I'm not even sure you can call it lacing...
