can anyone tell the gender of my Silkie's

I need to summit one at a time to keep the heads and the butts straight. Thanks for everyone's help to determine what they are.

Sorry they are so dirty, they just had watermelon.

Last one. Thanks again.

Based on the size of that comb, plus the streamers in the crest, I'd say roo and both the white and the partridge. I'm really surprised they're not crowing already, based on the size of their combs. How old are they?

They are 15 weeks old today. As a matter of fact 2 of them started crowing this past week. Still haven't heard anything out of the other 3. Unfortunately given the looks of them I may have 5 males and 1 female

I feel your pain on the ration. I started with 7 silkies this year....2 white, 3 buff and 2 black. One white turned out to be a cockerel, at least two of the buffs are cockerels and one of the black. I have 3 girls out of 7, if I"m lucky. Really only wanted silkies for brooding chicks this year (though I do love them, in general)....so truly a bummer. Wish there was a breeder out there who could vent sex their chicks for sale. lol
