Ok so I just got 3 beautiful silkie babies they are 8wks old I know one is a roo for sure but the other two are questionable? Also the roos color bewilders me. I have no idea what to call him.

The one in front is a pullet you can tell by the coloring.
Here is a photo of a partridge silkie roo.

i think the white one is a hen
 
Thank you! I think the white one is too but it looks like its got streamers but I dunno lol. :)
 
The white one is a male. Your other rooster is called Calico (three distinct colors without a particular feather pattern. The partridge one is a female.
 
I have a white rooster and I think yours is a hen...looks nothing like nigel! He was about 4-5 months in the first pic and 8-9 in second.
 
Ok I realize they are much younger but nigel always looked like a roo...had a big waddle from the start. The kids called it his brain.
