Are my silkies boys or girs?

Here they are
#1
I was told this was a boy.

#2

#3 and #4

I have heard no crowing and none have laid eggs (that I know of) at 27 weeks? Any thoughts would be greatly appriciated.
I will try to get bgger images.

Can you get closer pics? Especially pics of their combs? The buff does look roo-ish, but I can't be sure of anything on the other two.

I will get better pics tomorrow. The one buff has a small red comb and wattles can be seen. Do all silkies have blue ears? Male and female?

Yes they do, both sexes.

It is kind of hard to tell to me

The buff looks like a roo to me. The white silkie on the right looks like a pullet in that pic. I can't tell about the one on the left.

As always, with silkies though, until they lay or crow it is just a guess.

I have not heard any crows but the 2 buff I think are roos. They look identical. I just thought at 27 weeks the pullets would be laying. I do think the whites are girls.

Silkies can take up to a year before they lay an egg. They take their good old time. Most of them start around 7-9 months, though.
