Hello all! My friend purchased some silkies and is hoping to get some insight on weather she has a whole bunch of roosters or if we hopefully have some hens here too!! They are 4 months old so hopefully old enough for the experts to weigh in. Thanks again

There’s 2 pictures of each. Hopefully this helps

Do you have any updates? I'm fairly new to silkies. I've had several since last August, and hatched three from my first flock! Now, I am also wondering about the sex of mine. One is clearly a roo/cockerel, but the other two have little wattles already and they're only 2 months old. The obvious one has big wattles though, no mistaking him. He's much bigger and clearly a boy. But your pics here don't show any wattles that I can see. the last pic does have more cockerel vibes just in positioning, and some fly aways on the crown.
