I think at this young an age it's just a guessing game. On the 1st photos you share I think the top 2 are bearded ones, and those are even harder to sex. I had a bearded golden Polish that for 4 months I thought might be female, put he was male. I rehomed him after he became girl crazy and kept trying to rape my little d'Uccle cockerel. I had him until he was 5 months old and never heard him crow. I think he never crowed because his Polish brother was the alpha rooster, and he was low on the pecking older amoung the roosters (I had 6 at the time, which included 3 Silkies). You might have to wait until they start to crow or try to mate, or lays an egg before you can know if your chicks are male or female.
