Are my silkies male or female?

The black acts like a rooster. More aggressive and tends to protect the other two.

Number one is a cockerel I think the others look like hens but I've heard silkes are quite hard to tell

The black is 100% a rooster, the other 2 look like pullets.

I have to agree. But just wondering if the splash is really a paint. Can you get a picture of her toes from the underside?

First two are 100% (and some) rooster! Paint looks like a pullet to me. White one looks like a pullet too.
