I got 19 new chicks in May, a lot of different breeds! Three of them are silkies. Everyone is now 3 months old, and I know everyone’s genders except the silkies! Does anyone know the tricks to sexing silkie pullets/cockerels? I have never had silkies before. The black one is Fumiko, the white one is Peaches and the cuckoo one is Persimmon! I don’t know if these pictures are good enough for this, please let me know.
Here is Peaches!

The white has a neat and tidy puff and I can't see much comb. The black has a swept back hairdo with some longer bits sticking out.
