Hello,and a warm welcome to Backyard Chickens! It's great to have you here with us. Cute chicks! Not sure on genders though.
The best time to try and decide gender is around 4-5 mos. of age. Silkies (and Polish) are among the hardest to sex early. Sometimes they cannot be sexed until they crow or lay eggs.
Best photos are from the front, with crest pulled back, to show entire extent of combs.
Welcome to our FUNomenal community!Best wishes and have lots of fun!
