To me it looks like 3 and 2 are boys and 1 is a girl. I am not to good with silkies so maybe @MysteryChicken can give you a for sure if they are males or females.

I think all are females. I see no streamers starting yet.

Any other Silkie experts out there for more opinions?

I think all are female birds as well.

2 and 3 definitely look like females. I'm unsure about 1, but it looks more like a hen than a roo.

Oh yay!! Happy to hear I probably get to keep their names - Lady Sybil, Lady Edith, and Lady Mary. I’m 5/5 on getting girl silkies if this is the case! thanks everyone! Still open to more opinions if anyone else wants to chime in!

Updated photos for the one in question. Almost 16 weeks old. I’m convinced the other two are pullets but this one has a larger comb than the others. Also, is this partridge coloring? It has some blue green in its wings and tail feathers too.

What do you mean by streamers? New term to me.

Streamers are the long feathers that come out of the back of the crest on male silkies. Females will occasionally have them too, but it's not common.
