Hoping to get some ideas whether these two 6-week old chicks are male or female? Any help appreciated :)

On an unrelated note, anyone have success keeping silkies and orpingtons together?I have 5 silkies, are all mature and these are the only two orps. Hoping having the big birds grow up around the silkies will help.

Too young to be 100% certain as the hackle and saddle feathers haven’t came in yet, but from the look of that comb i’m gonna say cockerel..
The one in the back looks like a pullet :)

Pullets.
Combs are still small.
