5….2 month old Silkies ->gender??

[Sammieturpin]

I have 5 silkie chicks (4 are silkie x leghorn, 1 is pure silkie) I have them all named and identified on the pictures below, I have some from today (April 27) and from April 8. I’m only needing to keep the hens. Is there a way to help determine gender? I don’t know what I’m looking for in venting so I figured a different way.

Hatch date is feb 22. So 2 months.

I'll need some close ups of the combs.

My friend literally said all 6 of my silkies are boys. I don't understand what this article means by "boys have a comb further than their beak", they look the same size to me. Am I blind? Do I really have 6 roos?! I'm just shocked... thank you.

I can't see the 1st one's comv very well, but I think at least number 2 and 4 are pullets.
