. Possible roo...kind of high off the ground, and more mohawk...not sure though


This looks like a pullet

This could be a pullet too

Two months is really early yet...*usually* lower to the ground with a pom-pom is a girl, lankier taller stance with a mohawk is a roo...but Silkies are hard!

I'm thinking pullet on all of them. The one I'm least sure on is the reddish bird in the last photo.
 
my red one I'm pretty sure that's a hen she's very dominant and a bit more friendly than the other two. black ones the hardest one to catch and hold.
how much longer do you think it'll be till they will crow or at least start clucking like chickens and not keeping like chicks?

I'd guess that really red bird is a cockerel, simply due to the vibrant color alone (especially if its partridge, which it looks to be). The silver partridge looks like a pullet. I have no idea on the black/blue. It may help some if you could get some comb shots. With my Silkies, my pullets typically start off with very narrow combs, the cockerels are usually wide. Not always, but usually.
 
I also think the red bird is a Cockerel based on coloring. A head/comb shot would help. Silvery bird is a pullet. Black is a toss up.
