Need help identifying the gender of my silkies

Just got two eggs today!!! So you all are definitely right on at least two of them. Three counting Desert Nebula.
Wow! What a day! They were crazy loud before they laid them. My fault for not having their nest box totally completed. I thought I'd have a few more weeks to finish it before they'd need them. Had to improvise. Put down some turf in the main area of the coop and made it extra dark for them. I know Moon Cloud was one of the ones who laid. The other was a bit of a surprise, but I think it was Darth Feather. She was extra loud today too, extra cuddly and seemed to be searching for a good place. This may be a stupid question, but they only lay one egg at a time, correct? They'll have a nice nest box tomorrow should any of the others feel ready. I'll try not to disappoint them ever again! Whew!

Aww so exciting, congratulations on the first eggs! :D

They should only lay one at a time. More than one would definitely not be the norm. I've heard of accounts of an occasional chicken laying more than one in a day in some high production breeds but that is more the exception.

Given their age I still think they all look like pullets after seeing all the combs. :)
