Sexing silkies

[HuffleClaw]

Okay so these silkies are 6-7 weeks old. All are bearded though Clementine was picked on so it’s hard to tell. I understand if they are too young as I know they can be difficult to sex.
What do you think?

Marigold (Murphy if a male)

Clementine (Cameron if male)

Honey (Haeden if male)

Looks like Clementine is the only female...

There is some bias in regards to sexing chicks, but I'll tell ya my (what I find foolproof) sexing method:

Marigold appears to be a cockerel because the walnut comb is a bit too developed for a silkie that age. Even though it is still pretty small, my females don't grow them until they are around 3-4 months. Also, he/she has a more spikier and developed crest than Clementine.

Honey carries the same features, but gives me more of a rooster possibility in that she has the male stance

Like I mentioned, few people believe these methods are true, but I've been 80% correct on my property

I am hoping I have 1 roo and 2 hens But I’m happy if I at least get a pair of whites (which is what it’s looking like)
