i have two silkies and I specifically wanted hens. I’m having doubts because of the large “comb”? I cannot have 3 roosters.

They look like pullets to me! I didn’t see any wattles!!!!

Hello, and welcome to BYC!

Welcome to Backyard Chickens! We are glad you joined the flock! BYC is a helpful site providing all the information you need to know about poultry! I am terrible at sexing silkies but probably pullets because you would definitely see cockerel behavior in them at this age. Hope you enjoy it here as much as we all do!

Welcome to BYC. Silkies can be difficult to gender ID. That's a lot of comb development for 4 month old birds. Cockerels ?
