White Silkies - What Gender?!

[MarissaC]

Could someone give me an idea of the gender of these four silkies? Or do they still look too young? I just recently got them...also, with the last two, what should I use to clean up their chest? I think they've been getting into my pig's food and it looks so terrible!

My guess based upon comb size is male, male, female, female. When they're smaller, sometimes you can comb sex them (not 100% accurate) by looking for the 3 points at the back of the comb, farthest up the head (prominent points = likely male). Generally, males have larger combs, and will be the only ones that get the long streamers shooting out the back of their crest. I'd keep your eye out for those as these birds develop.
