Hen or Roo?

[HWeatherby]

]New to the chicken world and we chose to get Silkies. We received our first egg yesterday. Not sure which of our Silkies is laying. My husband thinks one is a roo but no crowing as of yet. I think both hens but know they are very hard to sex. Any long term Silkie owners have any thoughts on my "girls"?

Both look like hens to me. Hard to tell with the dark one though. Congrats on first egg!

I am praying both are hens. I got another egg today! Eeeeekkk. So excited. Research I did said they only lay 3 per week. We are two for two so far.
