Blue #2 is beautiful! Or handsome!
I know!!! I love that bird!! I just dunno. Its so hard cus they are all kinda different ages. I dont feel i got all same age from the breeder. As some blues are larger n fully covered an some my double silver laced are smaller n one silkie frizzel was tiny tiny compared to the bigger one shown 🤷🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️😂

My frizzle is tiny. All my pullets and my cockrel are towering over her. Even through she’s 2x their age. Haha

best of luck!

Blue number 1,2 and 3, purple number 2 and yellow number 1 are all Cockerels (male).
Rest appear to be female.😊
 
How can you tell with the silki? Also how can you tell with blues? They have redder combs then most chickens.
Significant comb and wattle development in the frizzled bird.
Significant red combs and wattles in the single combed birds less than 12 weeks of age indicates a cockerel. Including your blue birds.
Sorry if this is not what you were hoping for.
