9 week old satins

Any thoughts on gender with these two? I’ve read it may take a long time to sex them since they’re silkie crossed.

I thought the blue one was a pullet because of how dainty it is, but its poof looks more cockerel to me as it grows out.

Pullets.

Pullets

The B&W definitely pullet. The gray one I can't see the streamers but from what I can see, it seems it's got longer ones and that comb is too young to know for sure. I lean pullet, but if it's getting longer neck streamers, there's a clue.

Thanks everyone! The black and white one is my favorite. She’s a good looking bird!

Curious how you all are forming your opinion on sex with these guys? Is it in the comb, the poof, the feathers? I’m new to satin/silkies. Trying to learn.

They don’t have rooster feathers(pointy feathers on the hackles and saddle, you’ll also see point feathers on the head if there were names) They also don’t have combs. My satins boys at this age already had combs and the pointy feathers.
