Guessing the gender for silkie chicks

June and Rain's mother:

Hmmm, they don't have considerably large combs, so I think Ollie and Rain are boys and Aspen may have a large comb but I think June is a pullet.

I realize Ollie’s mother is a satin? Not silkie or maybe not a satin.. whatever she is, she’s gorgeous.

Update time!
I won't post Rain, because I'm 100% sure he's a cockerel.

Also I could use some thoughts on these two 5 week olds.
The blue named Sable is supposed to be a sexlinked pullet just like June, but the comb is kinda confusing me. I only have one blue hen and that is the light skinned blue cuckoo (June's mother), so Sable should also be a pullet. I also have another full sister to them.
The paint is named Otis (for now). I'm really hoping for a pullet, because it's my first and only paint silkie.

Thank you. She's a silkie mix. Half silkie, half bantam brahma. I have more chicks from her. Half are patterned like her.

Based on their combs
Ollie - pullet
June - pullet
Aspen - not 100% sure, her/him comb is throwing me off but the stance makes me lean towards pullet
Sable - 99% sure cockerel
Otis - stance appears like a pullet but this ones comb is throwing me off too

Sable - 99% sure cockerel

I think so too based on looks, but what confuses me is that I'm quite sure she came from my blue cuckoo hen's egg. The fact Sable is dark skinned and not cuckoo should mean pullet. If I somehow got the eggs mixed up and she came from my black hen's egg that would explain the dark skin and no cuckoo, but what about the blue? Sure my rooster is dominant white and could be hiding blue, but I hatched chicks from him and my brahma and silkie mix hens and none came out blue, which would make me think he doesn't have blue. I'm lost...

I'm not that great with genetics but there's some people in the thread

that are really good with those things and can probably answer your question

I'm pretty sure Ollie and June are pullets, but I'm still unsure about Aspen. Though I'm leaning more towards cockerel.
Sable, the blue chick is most likely a cockerel. The comb is already getting a little red. I'm gonna get pictures of the younger ones tomorrow.

These are all my 6 week olds. Pretty sure Sable is a cockerel. The one that just says 6 weeks without a name is Otis the paint. I'm considering renaming him, so that's why there's no name on the photo.
There are four 6 week old silkies in total:
Jade - blue with silver leakage
Sable - blue
Unnamed (Otis) - paint
Bean - white

Bean's comb is making me think cockerel but it's feathering and stance makes me think pullet
Sable - cockerel
Jade - pullet

At 9 weeks, I'm leaning towards Aspen being a pullet
June - pullet
Ollie - I'm not sure at the moment but potentially pullet
