Maybe it's too soon to tell, but can anyone tell me the gender of my silkies?

I would say the larger one looks like a Cockerel but it could just be the picture. With silkies it's tough to tell until they completely mature! I tend to figure it out based on their behavior rather than what they look like when they are developing.
 
Around 3-4 months you might have a good idea. Behavior isn’t reliable in my opinion. There are cockerels that act like pullets and vice versa. The earliest signs I notice are comb formation, red comb and/or wattles, and streamers.
