We got 3 silkie chicks from a neighbor. Still not sure how to sex them. Can anyone figure out if these are male or female yet? What is the best way to tell?

The red one is for sure a male, and the silver looks like a female. The age of the white silkie, and clear close up photos of its comb would help in sexing that one. If I had to guess without that, I would say female, but just a guess.
