8 week old Silkie cockerels? Need breeder eyes

[chickmamato7]

These two have been driving me crazy! I know it's a bit early, and I am withholding judgement on the rest of this batch, but are these 2 looking like cockerels?

A bit young but I would guess white is a cockerel and black a pullet so far

Thanks for responding! I will post updated pics on all 4 of them in a few weeks. If the black is a girl, then I probably have 3 pullets & one cockerel-- not a bad ratio if that's how things go

I agree, black looks like a pullet so far. White looks like a cockerel.

Sorry if I'm wrong, I'm a pretty new breeder. I've only had silkies for 2 years, but I've learned a lot over the past year.

Thank you! Until last week I was certain the black one was a pullet, then her crest began to look square & her comb began to look more like a U than a V. I suspected the white one was a cockerel since week 2, so no surprise there. I will try to get better pics of all 4 chicks when I update. Their crests are growing and changing daily right now, so I keep changing my mind!

Oh goodness now you have me worried LOL I have 9 week old silkies and I know I have one male satin he is in my profile pic here but my other white one named eggs (named by my 2 yr old granddaughter) looks like yours I thought she was a hen but I might be wrong! need to post a photo to see what those with more expertise think this is my first time raising silkies I purchased some fertile eggs and let my only silkie hen who was broody hatch them.

This is eggs I thought she was a hen but am I wrong? I got fertile eggs from a local farm that had both frizzles and silkies. Eggs is 9.5 weeks and looks a bit like the cute white baby in this post

Obviously I'm not an expert, since I was seeking advice myself, but that sure looks like a big walnut comb for 9.5 weeks & I also see streamers. I'm guessing a cockerel.
