Better pics of 20 weej old silkies

Ok i posted a few days ago, and I took better pics of the combs. Now, Behavior wise these 3 scream pullet. Including how they stand. They are all 3 also getting accosted by a younger silkie roo, though I know that can be a dominance thing. I know the buff-partige looks like it has streamers, but ill note that upckose it looks more uniform, and I'll note i felt casings in the crest still. (Will admit he is the one i think may, mostl ikely be male.

Ill try my best to keep them in order of buff, white, buff partridge. (White im 90% sure is female)

I think all females, going by the small flat combs. By 20 weeks I'd expect more development in that area for cockerels. Good photos, btw!

Thank you! I was leaning females, but i swear every silky that i get or hatches i go back and forth on until they are crowing or broody lol! Their father had a much larger comb at a far younger age, like he was obviously a male at like 12 weeks. He also had his streamers super early if I recall.i found pics! This is dad at like 12 or 14 weeks! The streamers and comb came in fast! (Also the posture was a give away)

They are a difficult breed to determine gender because they are unusual in so many ways. I gave my opinion, but there are no guarantees. This is why I try to inform people about genetic testing where you send samples into a lab. It costs money, but I think it is worth it for some people because it's pretty foolproof and pretty quick.
