I have 4 Silkies that are evading identification. Let's start with the older ones, and you guys can give me your opinions as to whether I have girls or boys!
First, a gray/blue/lavender/whatever. She (see, I'm being hopeful) is several months old, just about full size.

#2 is a barred or cuckoo or otherwise kinda multicolor gray, same age as #1.

#3 is about a month old, no comb development to speak of so I didn't bother getting a front-facing photo, but he/she does have these odd brassy feathers coming in on his/her neck and back.

So! You Silkie folk, tell me what you think I've got here! Thanks so much, Silkies are not my normal area of expertise. But I do love the silly things! (She said, as if she didn't feel a bizarre level of adoration for chickens of all sorts.)
