Sexing my new chicks

All non-silkies are cockerels. It's a no when it comes to silkies for me, so I'm passing it over to @MysteryChicken for those

This is my first time raising baby chicks and I purchased 6 - day old chicks. 2 silkies, 2 Wyandottes and 2 Olive Eggers (or so I was told by the chicken farm I purchased from). They are all so beautiful and I’ve done a lot of reading on how to determine if I have pullets or cockerels. I believe I have at least 4 cockerels but unsure about the silkies. Looking for opinions! This batch is 8 weeks old.

I need close up face pictures of the silkies.

I think you have a pair, but I could be horribly wrong

Thanks for your feedback everyone! I was worried my 50/50 odds weren’t in my favour. Seems you all agree with my suspicions!
