Cross posting because I just realized I posted in the wrong forum! What do you think about these two? Sage - flat black comb. Flower - pinky red comb.

I especially will appreciate what characteristics led to your conclusion!

They are from a Cochin and splash silkie. 3-4 months (13-16 weeks old ish).

The single combed chick on the left is a definite cockerel. I a, seeing pointed saddle feathers which would indicate a male. I am unsure about the chick on the right but I am leaning cockerel as well because of the very large comb.
 
Both cockerels. Both have large combs and male specific feathering. The first one shows that on both the shoulders and saddle areas. You can see it just starting to emerge on the lower back of the second one, those pointed reddish feathers.
