I have 4 Silkies, 2 black, 1 white and and Paint. I know the Paint is a cockerel, however having troubles with rest. No matter how much I research and compare I can’t quite figure it out. The paint is the only one with a waddle growing and has by far the largest comb. In the pics you'll
See the waddle has some red colour to it, where I don’t see any red in 2 of the others, but do in the larger black one (not sure if there is significance there!?). I do believe the smallest black one may be a week younger than the rest. Has always been smaller since the time I got them at 4-5weeks.
Any help would we much appreciated! ☺️

Paint and white both look like cockerels.

Black 2 looks like a pullet.

I’m unsure about Black 1, but I am leaning pullet.
