Sexing Silkies!! PICS.

It's pretty early to guess but I would think 1 hen, 2 roo and 3 roo. You still should wait at least 2 or 3 weeks to be more accurate on gender. They should grow out of the "ugly silkieness" with time. Your white is more then likely just better quality.

Alright... I'll give it more time. Can anyone give me any "things to look for" tips? Someone in another thread mentioned "streamers" which I have no idea what that is. Or what about the comb?

I agree. Time for some name changes before they get a complex; silkies are VERY sensitive.
ETA If they are hens and you call them roosters, they'll probably get upset and go broody on you.

I " think" one is a girl, two I'm not sure of. three looks like a dude. yes they go through a very "AQUARD " stage. cockerels usually have a more helmet shaped crest early on. pullets have a more rounded shape.
Here are some streamers

The white may be a pullet. The other two look like cockerels to me.

Black one looks a little like a rooster

Oh yeah the scraggly ugly rough phase will pass in a few more weeks. 3 of mine are about that age and they are looking a bit worse for wear

but they'll grow out of it.
