We have two bantam silkie chicks that we bought from a tractor supply August 22nd. The white one is a little spunky but still affectionate.The white one (Yang) seems a lot more developed than the black one (Yin). I don’t know if the pictures show it but Yang’s feet are a bigger than Yin’s. Yin is very calm and and more affectionate than Yang. Yin also has no comb development as of right now, but Yang does have a little bit. I know it’s early to tell, but any pointers on what their gender’s might be are very much so appreciated.

Below are a bunch of pictures that might help give you guys some ideas of what they look like.
Thanks so much 😁

They are young yet. At their age you look at comb development. The white looks to have a larger comb currently so I'd guess male. The black I can't see well enough to guess.
 
I got a better picture of Yin (black chick) to help give you a better look ☺️
I hope it helps. I can always take more if need be!
Yin has little to no comb development from what I can see, but I’ll let you give your two cents 👍
Thanks again
