Sexing chicks

[BlueShoes]

Hi novice keeper here, just unfortunately had to rehome a silver braekel chick as was crowing rather early in the morning however since rehoming another has started crowing. The crow is much quieter so likely on of the smaller bantams. Does anyone have any ideas? They are around 12 weeks.
thanks

The silkie in that picture is that hen/rooster?

Agreed, Silkie is the only rooster looking one to me.

I’m not sure, one of them is roosting, I initially thought the silkie however can’t see the streaming feathers, crop or wattles. The black one I can see a distinctive crop and wattle forming at 12 weeks?

Crowing sorry

The cream crested leghorn horn seems to be the highest in the pecking order and protects the silkie but not the peking?

Your getting close to point of lay, so wait a bit, also, if they are crowing, probably rooster... Sorry.

Silkies are hard to sex.
The other two are pullets, so the Silkie must be a cockerel.
