Happy New Year! Thanks in advance for reading and providing feedback. I have, coughing ahead of time, just a few Silkie babies that I'm trying to confirm if Hen/Roo (😍 my Silkies and all the rest of my fluffy butts)... I posted over a month or so ago about the gender of a few of them and it was still a bit early; however, they are now outside and I am HOPING that you wonderful peeps can do the magic that you do with gender.
~Thanks so much in advance!!!

Just to clarify, there are 15 birds in all?
Here are my guesses by number on the photos:
1. Partridge-pullet
2. Buff-on the fence, leaning pullet, need to see a close up comb photo
3. White-pullet
4. White-on the fence, leaning cockerel, needs a close up comb photo
5. Splash-pullet
6. color looks more like Silver Partridge (not Splash)-on the fence, leaning pullet, needs a comb photo
7. Black-pullet
9. Black (solid)-pullet
12. Blue-on the fence, leaning pullet, needs a comb photo
13. White-on the fence, leaning pullet, needs a comb photo
14. Black-pullet
15. another Silver Partridge (not Splash)-on the fence, needs a comb photo
16. Mixed color Partridge or maybe Cuckoo (has barring on the wings), not a Blue-on the fence, leaning pullet, need a comb photo
17. Black-on the fence, needs a comb photo
18. Paint-on the fence, leaning cockerel, needs a comb photo.
Whew!🤣

Thank you for posting requested comb pics. Many say they will and never do. I see lots of pullets!
...I'm helping you, help me! If you are asking for others to take time out of their day and they ask for a little more detail to provide the most accurate feedback, why wouldn't you provide it? (At least in my opinion...)
 
I’ll do my best with the photos you’ve provided.

3.pullet
4.pullet
5.pullet
6.pullet
7.pullet
9.pullet
12.cockerel
13.pullet
14.cockerel
15.pullet
16.pullet
17.cockerel
18.cockerel

I’m just going off what I can see in the photos. Preferably It’d be good if you can get comb photos for all of them. Otherwise this is the best I can do. I will give you a warning that the answers I gave a very likely to be wrong since most weren’t close enough that I could get a good enough look at the comb.

Thank you and I've added a few updated pics... and will get the rest tomorrow or over the weekend 😊
 
Buff (2): pullet
White (4): cockerel
Splash (5): I'm thinking cockerel
Splash (6): pullet
Black (9): pullet
Black (10): need comb pictures
Black (11): pullet
Blue (12): pullet
White (13): pullet
Black (14): cockerel
Blue splash (15): pullet
Blue (16): pullet
Black (17): pullet
White (18): I’m unsure but I’m thinking pullet

Silkies are hard to sex so there are no guarantees 😊
