Any Gender Guesses? 6 Week Old Silkies

Hey! I know 6 weeks is kind of too early to sex silkies, but I thought I'd make a thread anyway. I'm anxious to figure out what they are, lol. I have a very strong feeling that the black one is a cockerel, but I've never had Silkies before so this is all new to me.
I'm kind of confused about the change in coloration, I was pretty positive that I knew what colors they'd be when I brought them home, but as they have feathered out I've gotten surprise after surprise. I wouldn't have expected anything less from TSC though. :)
Disclaimer, Silkies are the hardest things to take pics of on the planet, other than a polar bear in a snowstorm. I can attempt to get better pics of them if needed though.

Chick #1 "Rambo". So-called due to not being quite right in the head. :lol:
She/he is my favorite though, so I'm hoping Rambo is actually a she.

Chick #2, Un-named.

Chick #3, Un-named. I'm guessing this one is definitely a boy. He's bulky and has a crazy intense comb.View attachment 2628786

Angry eyebrows. :lol:

Chick #4, Ivory. She/he was PURE white as a chick.

Thanks!!!
#1. Pullet

#2. Cockerel

#3. Cockerel

#4. Maybe a pullet, comb is questionable.
 
Oh, Blue Partridge? Cool! I didn't know that that was a thing in Silkies, lol.
It is. I have 3, originally thought we had 2.

I have 1, Blue Partridge Silkie Rooster, & 2, Blue Partridge Silkie pullets.
