is she a hen or roo??

i got to silkie pullets who were supposed to be females but i just want to make sure. Bonnie, the little one i know for sure is a girl, and i pretty sure delilah, the big one is a girls because ive had her for 3 weeks and heard no crowing, but could this be becasuse of shock from moving to a new home. im only asking because her face is so much different then bonnie's and she has larger wattles. Both of the 2 silkies havn't started laying yet and they are both about 2 pounds (delilah is a bit more)
here is delilah

delilah is the big one

these are Delilah's feet, im not sure if they are spurs or just toes growing up because she was living on a wire cage when i got her. She has 5 toes al together counting the ones that grow up

Those wattles do look a little big for a pullet but those look like toes to me and I can't see any sign of spurs. I'm gonna guess pullet. Fingers crossed.

im kinda hoping delilah turns out to be a guy so that i could have a rooster in my flock, even though they aren't allowed in our town. she hasn't tried to mate or anything, and instead of telling bonnie were the food is like roosters are supposed to, she just eats all he treats before bonnie can get any, odes this mean anything?

Looks like a boy to me

I have a non bearded silkie hen that looks just like that - I think it's a lovely lady!

How old is he/she/it? If it's more than a few months I would say hen. Usually my roos start attempting to crow at 3-4 months, but then again I never had a silkie roo so it may take longer for them. I did have one silkie hen with quite large wattles though, so you can't go entirely on that. I believe that silkie roos have more pronounced ridges on the comb, so you can try comparing the two. Silkies are always so hard to sex! Oh, and those are just toes curving up, spurs would be higher on the leg.

I'm gonna say boy.
