Posted some pictures of my white and splash silkie babies in hopes of getting closer to knowing what they are. I know they are hard to sex. Any advice or ideas appreciated!!!

Great job with the photos, but they are still too young to be certain. You can try close ups of the combs, using one hand to push the crests back. 😊
 
The best I could get! They don’t appear to have any combs or waddles.

They are looking pretty girly SO FAR.
Streamers off the back of crest should appear soon if they are male, usually between 12-16 weeks. These are coarser, stiffer feathers. Males will also develop more flowly feather on the neck about this time (hackles).
But, these are silkies and can often take even longer to express the gender specific feathering. 😊
