Showgirl gender?

[Silkie Amateur]

I have 7 showgirls that are are about two months old now. There are two that are a couple weeks old than the others that I’m pretty sure are boys here are those two:

The other 5 I’m not so sure about here they are:
Chick 1:

Chick 2:

Chick 3

Chick 4:

Chick 5, this is a sizzle:

Thank you!!! Hoping I’ve got some hens!

I am of no help here but I must say those are some cute chickens!

I believe that 1,2, and 5 are cockerels.

Okay thanks, I’ve also seen that if the crest on silkies are more of a circle shape, they are hens, is that true?

Generally - depending largely on the quality of the bird.

I agree the older two are looking like cockerels.

3 and 4 look the most pullet like. 5 and 1 look like little cockerels to me and I'm not quite sure about 2. The comb on 2 points more towards a male, looks like streamers haven't grown in much on that one if it is a male. A few more weeks and the streamers will likely start becoming more obvious if it is a cockerel. I'm leaning towards it being male as it is young and it is not uncommon for streamers to come in around 10-12 weeks in my own silkies.

They are all adorable!

Thank you so much! I agree with chick 2.

Chick 3 and 4 are pullets. All the others are males

I know showgirls can be tricky from experience but I’m almost positive 2 and 3 are female and the rest cockerels. Beautiful birds!
