Hi, would anyone be able to help me with the gender of these chicks, all 6 weeks old. They're my mum's, it's her first time keeping chickens. I understand it's probably too early for the Silkies!
Any help much appreciated.

3 Silkies - Custard (at back), Toffee (front) and Misty (right hand side)

Nutmeg is a little rooster, seems to me like possibly a bantam Cochin? Pecan and Cinnamon both appear to be female booted bantams to me, Toffee and Misty seem like their combs are a little wide but I can't really remember if that's a sure sign of a rooster silkie or an old wives tale :'( cute little bunch you have here though!
 
Thank you both, I think that's what we suspected! We'll have to wait and see with the Silkies 🤞
 
Silkies:

Toffee and Misty look like cockerels. They have rather prominent streamers.

Custard looks like she is probably a pullet.

Do get some other opinions, though. This is just a guess.

Bantams:

Nutmeg looks like a cockerel. Pecan and Cinnamon look like pullets.

All are adorable!!
