Guessing the gender for silkie chicks

These are my 5 week olds. There's still a chance for these 2 to be pullets, right? I have a couple I'm sure will be cockerels, but 3 or 4 of them I think could be pullets. Two of them would be good enough for keeping. These are the two.

#1 (pink ring) one of the best chicks in the whole batch. Comb looks completely flat.

#2 (white ring)

The 7 week olds:
Pretty sure Sable and Bean are cockerels. I also noticed a very faint cuckoo pattern on Sable, which would confirm that hes a cockerel. Not sure about Ruby and Draco.

I'm pretty sure June and Ollie are pulllets and Rain is a cockerel. Aspen is the only one still confusing me. Comb is still pretty flat, but there is a bit of a red wattle coming in.

These two appear to be pullets
The 7 week olds:
Pretty sure Sable and Bean are cockerels. I also noticed a very faint cuckoo pattern on Sable, which would confirm that hes a cockerel. Not sure about Ruby and Draco.
Ruby I'm guessing is a pullet
Draco I'm not 100% sure but leaning cockerel
Sable I'm leaning cockerel
Bean I'm also leaning towards cockerel
I'm pretty sure June and Ollie are pulllets and Rain is a cockerel. Aspen is the only one still confusing me. Comb is still pretty flat, but there is a bit of a red wattle coming in.
Aspen is a little confusing but its comb does appear like a pullets and I have had pullets have red wattles before so right now I'll say pullet
 
Ollie and June are definitely pullets.
Rain is definitely a cockerel.
I haven't looked at Aspen's comb in a while, but the stance and size now makes me think he's a cockerel.

Sable is definitely a cockerel.
Ruby is most likely a pullet.
I think Bean might be a cockerel.
Still unsure on Draco, but I'm leaning pullet right now.

As for the (now) 8 week olds...
#1 with the pink ring still looks very much like a pullet.
#2 with white is a little suspicious, but nothing obvious and is still on the smaller side.
I don't have any updated pictures of them right now.

I will add pictures of Aspen and Draco though. Aspen is 12 weeks and Draco is 9 weeks.
