I believe I'm seeing some streamers starting. Occasionally females can have streamers too, but it's not common.

my Friend in Lonnederrry her Silkie girls had streamers and ended up being girls. And my white Silkie Stacy I got her young and she looked exactly like Smokey and she ended up being girl

and Smokey is almost 5 months now. Still no domince and still not wanting to mate. She just eats a lot and is very friendly with me but very skiddish also here’s a video of her clucking lol

That's called the egg song, keep updating.
Males, & females will do this.

Also why are they in a large cardboard brooder?

i personality don’t think those are streamers. If she was a roo she would definitely would be crowing right now and showing domince. Here’s the old Smokey Pics ( she passed ) and this Smokey looks exactly like her and my friend on insta said Smokey is 100% female. And she sent me some of her silkie that she thought were Roos. And they all ended up laying eggs.

( these are my friends pics of her silkie hens )

we didn’t have a bunny cage, so I saw poeple putting them in box brooders amd I had a old box that my piano came in so I just used that and they loved it, plus they have a huge outside play pen until I can get them introduced to my other chickens.

Silkies can be very slow to mature sometimes. Your's is abit confusing too me. Myself never had females with large bulbous combs, only small flat one.

Here's my sister's Breeder stock rooster, as a five month old cockerel. He looked like a female for the longest time before transforming into a fluffy, crowing rooster. Example pictures of how slow they can be to mature.

1yr.

2yrs.

They should large enough/old enough to be introduced with minimal issues.
