Sexing silkies

[Selka]

I know it is too early but any guesses what the gender of these two silkies is (before my kids get too attached to them)? I think the brown-beige is a vockerel and the grey a pullet. The brown is bigger too. Thank you!

Both look like cockerels to me. It is to early to tell for sure though. Post an update when they‘re 10-12 weeks old.

Updates are needed, and when you do update, please post comb shots in addition to body shots

These cute chicks are mixed colored with some incomplete partridge base it looks like. They are both developing red over the shoulders which is usually a cockerel sign in these types of silkies. Repost as others have said in a few weeks.

The redish one is simply a Red Pyle. I have a Red Pyle laying hen. Red Pyle is a rare coloring, so it is often mistakened for a cock coloring.
They're still young though, but I see 1 cock and 1 pullet.
