Buff Silkie with Black Silkie

[cmdacus]

First of all I was wondering what gender these silkies look like? They are 5 months old. Have not had any eggs nor crowing. Sorry the pictures arent better. This is the only one I could get. I was in a hurry.

My next question is if one is a rooster and one a hen what kind of chicks would they make?

Thank you in advance. These are my first silkies.

The black one is a pullet. Not sure on the buff, but thinking pullet.

Just as a fact, Buff x Black = 100% Black, I believe.

Thanks for the fast reply. So 2 pullets!? That would be great! How did you tell that the black one was a pullet? I've read if they have a rounded puff=pullet.

It's possible that your black one is a cockerel (I'm not a Silkie sexing expert), and I can't see the crest well, but from here, it looks rounded. Also, the stance if less upright. Males usually have an upright carriage.
