Cockerel silkie?

[BrittanyD10]

How many different birds are there? Can you number them?
Edited to say you said you have 4, can you number or describe which ones are which in the photos?

 

[BrittanyD10]

Number 3 is what I believe to possibly be a cockerel

Is number three the same one in your first photos?

 

[BrittanyD10]

Ye

Is number three the same one in your first photos?

yes

Honestly, number one is the only one that looks like a female at the moment. I am going to tag a few others, to see if they can help.
@SoftSilkie, @LynnaePB can you help?

With such a large comb at such a young age my bet is on #3 being a little cockerel.

I think they are at a difficult age in regards to crests. Right about now the males may be starting to grow in streamers but those streamers will be hard to differentiate from the females crest growing in more until a little later on. Because of this I'm trying not to judge too much based off crests.

#1 has a rather wide base to the comb which is more of a cockerel trait but I don't feel confident in guessing gender based on that alone. #2 and #4 I'm unsure of, I can't really see the width of #2s comb and #4 having a single comb is hard for me to judge as I don't have a lot of experience with trying to sex single combed silkies. I'd say other than #3 the rest probably need some more time to mature before more accurate guesses can be made.

They are all very cute!
