i hope the picture come out ok i wasn't sure how to put them on here thanks again
 
I'm pretty new to all of this but they all look like pullets to me!! I can't tell with the Silkie, one of the many experts here will have to help.
 
Pretty chickens. The silkie's color is pretty. Have you heard any crowing? by 18 weeks old you should of by now. It won't be long and you will have eggs. Some breeds may lay as early as 18 weeks and others as late as 26 weeks.
Front what I can tell, looks like you may have pullets. What breeds are they?
Generally in pullets the combs are smaller and usually lighter pink than the reddish in cockerels. The wattles on pullets are either absent or much smaller than the cockerels.
Good Luck.
 
thats great news, Tinychicky i got them from a feed store and they were not sexed we just guessed so that why i wasn't sure, i had a silkie that passed away from a dog

and it look like that one but i wasn't sure until she laid a eye so i guess i will just have to wait and see with that one
 
All females. Silkie idk though. But shouldnt be a problem. They are quite docile. And most people that dont raise chickens know nothing about silkies. Hehe. You could sneak him.

1 hen and 1 roo i haven't head any crowing yet but i am not sure about the breeds when went to the feed store we forgot to wright it down because they where just so cute so if anyone know just let me know. i love the silkie color too my son named it baby, i have had silkie before but they where from online and we knew the sex but the people next door got in our yard and killed most of them
