Help sexing 4 chicks!

Oh really?! Could you educate me on this!
Her coloring, partridge, is different for males and females. A partridge silkie rooster is red and black, while a partridge hen is brown and gold. A partridge silkie rooster will also have darker red feathers on his shoulders.
 
I think you are correct!
You could get comb pictures of them so we can sex them too, if you want. :)

Hmm, are they also about 10-11 weeks old?
They are, I’ve also noticed Kenny is a lot more bold and flighty than Dolly. Also when I put them in the coop at night he is the first to lead the pack, not sure if that means anything or if he’s just ready for bed!

That may be a sign it's a cockerel, although behavior isn't a reliable way too sex this young.
I think I'd wait a bit longer and update on them, as I'm not too sure right now.
 
How are they looking now?
Dolly is for sure a female and has laid 8 eggs for us now! However, I’m still undecided on Kenny. He/she grew bigger waddles, however has never crowned nor to my acknowledgment mounted. But has not laid eggs. I do however have an obvious leader rooster that may be deterring him from crowing.
