Feather Sexing? Pictures...

[cheeptrick]

Are there any feather sexers out there that can tell me if these are roos or pullets?
I think they are all pullets...these are 3-2 day old Silkies.
Added youtube link to dirty jobs segment for measure

No expert here but I would say the first 2 pics are cockerel and the 3rd is a pullet. Will be interested to see what others say.

You can ONLY tell male and female via feather sexing IF you mated a slow feathering rooster over a fast feathering hen. Else, its random.
