Hello! I know silkies are such complicated buggers.

The only bearded one I see is possibly the 2nd one pictured - but hard to tell. Definately none of the others are bearded.

Is the buffs pictured the same chicken or 2 different ones? Because the 2nd one - the full on picture it may be a bearded pullet but I can't tell...1st picture definately is beardless - and pretty sure it looks like a roo - but no telling @ 11 weeks.

the blacks - no idea on sexes. Sometimes you can't be sure on sex on a silkie till 5+ months - I have 3 that are 23 weeks and I am just now finally sure I got a male and 2 females!!!

good luck! Will look forward to more pictures to guess on!

I can't tell sex on your blacks, but the first buff pictured looks like a rooster - because his comb is getting lumpy. The second buff is looking like a hen, since there is no comb growth on her.

If you examine your blacks really closely, maybe you can tell if any of them are getting slightly larger combs.

Just guesses

but~~ Peeps looks like a non-bearded cockeral
1st Buff looks like a non-bearded cockeral
2nd Buff looks like a bearded pullet
last one looks like a non-bearded cockeral

Mine fool me all the time though...

they may bee from a beard to non beard breeding which will give you some sparse beards
