Guess these silkies genders!

[LadiesAndJane]

Lots of threads recently with silkie sexing, comb width etc. Thought it would be interesting to look back on some of my birds when younger and see if folks could guess their genders based on combs at fairly young ages. I found 4 that have all been gender ID via DNA testing and have since grown enough to verify the accuracy (100%). All the birds pictured were between 4-8 weeks of age at the time of the photos, the age most people post on this forum looking for answers. Chick 1 only has one photo, the others have two photos each. Good luck!
I will follow up with the correct results.

Chick 1

Chick 2

Chick 3

Chick 4

I am by no means great with silkies, but I want to play for fun.

Okay, results?

Here they are:
Chick 1 is a female
Chick 2 is a male
Chick 3 is a female
Chick 4 is a female

Wanted to demonstrate that comb width is not a reliable indicator of gender in young silkies, though it can contribute to the overall assessment.
Looks like the majority of people who voted, guessed correctly.
Thanks to everyone who contributed.

Thanks, these are youngsters I had, some of which have gone to new homes. Little cockerel I kept intentionally.
