Help! first time hatching!

Not sure at all! That's my question. The guy I got them from thought both girls. But to me the combs look like one of each. Could just as easily be both boys lol. Neither are crowing and are said to be about 13 weeks old.
Give me a shot with them looking directly at the camera and then another shot to the side. Boys have about three or four feathers on top of there heads that are longer then the rest, girls have a more Pom Pom Look, boys will have the large walnut shaped comb where girls will have this small kind of smooth looking comb..

Here's a pic of my silkie rooster when he was probably 8-10 weeks old.
 
Ok, here are a few more pics. This first one is Gabe (for Gabriel Iglesias "I'm not fat, I'm fluffy" LOL)
The one that I thought was male







And here's the other one, that I thought was female. "She" sat on my husband's lap for a while, very calm, even when the dog jumped up there with them.
Haven't decided on a name for this one yet. Thought I got a side view, but apparently not.
I know they aren't high quality, but I still think they are cute as buttons. (my hubby has HUGE hands LOL)

 
Your first pic, looks like a male, although he doesn't seem to have the long head feathers growing yet, but his getting the Walnut comb, The second pic Definitely Looks like a male.. OMG, and he DOES NOT LOOK HAppy.. It looks like he's got the head feathers already.
 
The second one's comb is taller in the middle, not so much walnut and splattered out like the other. And actually it was very content with hubby holding it. Didn't even mind my phone right in its face lol. But thanks for your thoughts. Wonder why neither crows yet? Maybe because of no other roosters around to teach them?
When do silkies usually start laying eggs?

Is the first one dead? There are two more very similar to it. Is it just a coincidence that they're in the same row?
Is the second one not fertile? There's one more like it and they're on opposite edges.
