3 month old silkies - sexing?

[TexasSilkies]

Any ideas on sex? I have had two out of 11 crowing but not sure what these few will be?
-There is the little brownish/white one
-white and black spotted one
-all white/fluffy one

You cannot tell the difference between a roo and a hen until they lay eggs or crow.

What do their combs look like?

None of them look like they are developing one yet except for the two ones that are crowing. A lot of them appear to have some streamers though - wondering if thats maybe just where they grow their crest first??

They are looking like pullets to me, that's why I asked. Streamers seem to come later from my experience. They all have weird hairdos to start.

It's hard to tell in the pictures. Can ou get individual pictures of each Silkies crest and comb?

Sometimes you can't tell until they crow or lay. But most of the time, you can tell the sex, although you might have to wait a little longer. It all depends on the bird.

Need better, clearer photos - head facing forward, crests held back, to check entire extent of comb. Yes, they have combs showing. As far as streamers go, many say that indicates a rooster. In young birds, every feather doesn't grow in at the same precise time as the one before. Four or five mos. of age is a better time.

Are those inside or outside birds? I ask because I hatched some silkies about 2 weeks ago now, and I'm wondering if I'm going to have to keep them inside 3 months! LOL
