Help sexing PLEASE!

So, we bought our silkie, Tina the fat lard (Napoleon Dynamite is one of my favorite movies and silkies look like llamas to me) when she/he was 9 weeks old. I am fairly certain it is a hen, but just want to be sure.

But, we also have a bantam that is 6 weeks old and I'm not positive on. I feel like it is a roo, but not positive. Also, anyone have any ideas on the breed of this bantam?

Thanks!

The silkie looks like a pullet, though how old is it? The other looks like a rooster.

I don't know enough yet about Silkies to venture a guess. The bantam is a cockerel, though. His black breast plumage gives him away! Also, it's a Silver Duckwing OEGB.

Whoops! Forgot that part! She/he is 12 weeks old now.

You may want to wait another before being sure, but I think I will stick with pullet.

It stands for Old English Game Bantam. You're so welcome!

And silver duckwing was one of my guesses! Thanks for settling that!

I hope so! She has been my dream chicken and my hubby got her for my birthday! I don't want to have to re-home any of my babies, but I can't have roos in my city.
