If someone could please help me hopefully identify hen or rooster on our 6 silkies. Ranging from 2 months old to about 5 months or so “just guessing”

Silkies are pretty hard to sex but I'd say #3 is a pullet. I also think #5 and #1 are cockrels.

The others look younger and I can't tell.
Thank you very much! That’s what I was thinking those were due to how they act. And I figured #4 was a roo from his rough behavior pecking and chasing all the other around
 
I am kind of leaning towards roo for #4 as well. Hopefully I'm wrong & you've got mostly pullets! I've had a frustrating time sexing my 4 5mo old silkies. I'm sure 1 is a roo and the other 3 I change my mind on every day 😂

If you'd like to know for certain, you can send there feathers in to be tested & find out genders sooner. https://iqbirdtesting.com/
I've considered doing it with my chicks, but still haven't gotten around to it.

Wow that’s some great info I never knew they could do that I definitely might give that a try! Thank you very much!! 🙂
