Any ideas on these EEs, these are better pics than yesterday, about 10-12 weeks

First is a pullet. Second probably male, but need a side pic. Third pic, front male and possibly pullet in the background.

Please post pics when fully feathered.

Hi everyone! I've got some silkies I'm hoping to get some educated guesses on gender wise. I know they're not the easiest to figure but I appreciate any ideas! There's four of them I got for a dollar each at the rural king near here. They're all the same age just over 3 months although one is extremely tiny and I have no clue why since they all started out the same size. None of them are developing any kind of wattles yet. And I really can't see any differences in thirty their combs yet either. It's definitely a tough one, lol. Anyway here's some pics of them, biggest to smallest and thanks for any help!

#4 is the same size as one of my bantam chicks that were born about two weeks before I got the silkies. The other three silkies are right now about the same size as my 2 year old d'uccle,#1 is slightly bigger which would make me guess it to be a roo but seeing as how they're hatchery chicks and that oddball little one in there,I don't know about guessing them by size.
Again thanks for any help!

I'm definitely not a silkie expert, so afraid I won't be able to help too much. One and four could be male, but really not sure. Sorry!

This one I believe is a maran, because of the dark color of the legs (the others have yellow legs). Am I correct?

This looks like a CM.

No it's not a mix, but I'm really bad at taking photos. The rooster and the mother ( shown) look alike, and some of the chicks hatched fully black, and some hatched like that one, even though I know that those were the parents, anybody know why?

They're mix breeds.

Pullets. You should be able to tell by skin color. Top looks like your Maran judging by her barring.

That is what i was thinking too!

He's young, but that is a sizable comb. It doesn't have color, though. Please update in a couple weeks.

Yes, thats what i thought, quite big for a girl. Although,not much of wattles are present. She/he stands like a roo thou and already is play fighting w/ the others. Fingers crossed still that Ginger is a girl!

Hello, new member here
We got this freebie Partridge Cochin from our hatchery order and we assumed it would be a rooster but we don't know for sure! Any ideas? S/he just turned 11 weeks.

These are a little young. I wouldn't be surprised if the EE is a cockerel, though.

Can you help me identify this baby??

Too young.

It did, sorry about that. You're correct, that is a cockerel.

I need help determining the sex of this mix breed chick. I believe it is cochin and salmon faverolle. It is 6 weeks and 2 days old.
