Anyone?
I think Girl, boy, boy...

They look like blacks and greys. Are they carrying Lavender, maybe?
My guess is girl, boy, girl.

I would like to see more guess's- I have no idea how to tell a silkie hen from a roo. Mine are 3 months old, no crowing yet, but I still would LOVE to know what to look for!

Bloominorchard- Your silkies are so cute! I love the 7th pic, straight-on stink eye!!

Too young to give any certainly on gender. They are blacks, although one may be a blue--can't tell whether it is reflection or actual lighter colouring. They could be split for lavender--what were you told about their colour when you purchased them?

I won them in a raffle at the PA Chickenstock! I forget if they were Lav splits or what but Lav was in there! They do look mostly black to me at this point too. So Im guessing a young roo makes a different noise than a pullet. my girl kind of chirp, and lately im hearing this noise thats not chirps! i cant explain it!

If they were lavender, they would be a very light grey color. They are probably split lavenders, meaning they carry the gene for lavender.
