Hi! I have recently acquired 2 EE chicks (I’m assuming they are ee’s) and purchased 2 silkies. The ee’s are about 3-4 weeks and the silkies are between 2-4 weeks. I would like to hear what people think about my assumption of ee as breed and also some educated guesses at gender for all. Thanks!!

I can try and get better comb pics

Well the one silkie looks male to me though it's early and they're a huge pain in the butt to sex. Not sure about the breed ID. Not seeing anything that screams EE, but since it's not an actual breed that's hard to say.
 
I agree that the black silkie with a straight comb is a male. The other silkie makes me think male as well by its stance but in all honesty it is still WAY to early to tell for sure by that trait alone.
