I’m not quite sure what you do if you end up with 75% Roos for silkies...
on my other birds I can use them for meat to a point... but these guys... I want for pets so I’m trying to figure out if they’re all boys or mostly boys how I’ll make a bachelor flock

Its a waiting game with sexing Silkies usually about 4-6 months before you can sex them correctly.
Yes it is difficult to know what to do with the extra boys, I haven’t been able to even give them away. I have re homed some as part of a pair if I have extra girl to go with them. Some people do cull and use to make broth or stew type meals. I don’t know how to process chickens and it’s not worth it for me to pay someone to do it.
I ended up with 4 boys this spring from my fall hatch grow outs bringing my total to 7. I had a bachelor flock and let them free range during the day so my girls don’t get stressed. The predators help thin them out but at least I know they are living a good life happy being chickens.

I am leaning towards pullet on the white and cockerel on the partridge (i believe its partridge anyways, the darker one)

I just realized there is more pictures/chicks. My answer is for the first picture

The white one behind “him” (I think based on attitude both of my partridge are boys honestly) were straight run “silkie bantams” from TSC... but they’re HUGE and weird looking.. and both look like girls to me.. and like mutts lol

But my feeling is both partridge are boys... the white I got with them I HOPE is a girl but I can’t truly tell
