Help with sexing 14 weeks olds

[Jlkmommy]

I have two 14 week olds we hatched from a neighbor's eggs bc she has a cool looking rooster. The first picture is her rooster, for reference. Because he has wild feathers and not much comb, and is on the smaller side, the usually identifiers have me baffled. Please help me identify their sexes! One of them has very rooster looking tail feathers and they are both about the same size, not to big for 14 weeks.

These both appear to be men

The first one is 100% a dude and I think the other as well but it’s comb looks smaller so not sure. Are they part silkie?

thank you. Can you help me understand more of what I'm looking for? is it the way the feathers are pointing?

thank you. They are part the neighbor who has 75 chickens and so a mix of many, many varieties. Probably silkie due to the wild feathers.

If feather dusters can be sexed then they would be boys.....I think

You sort of just get a trained eye over time to see males, specifically of these guys the giveaway is the sickle (sythe) shape of their tails.

Their combs are very red for being 14 weeks old, they also have leakage in their hackles and shoulder that is very common on males. You can kinda see the pointy saddle feathers hanging down too just in front of their tails.
