SILKIE ...boy or girl??

[1lpoock]

This silkie was hatched on July 30th and it is just over 18 weeks old. The reason I dont know yet is because two roos from this silkies hatch already started crowing about a month ago and this one hasnt yet, and it hasnt laid an egg. Also, I dont see any of those shoot feathers that they say males have coming off the back of their head...heres the pics!

Also, would this silkie be considered bearded?

bearded silkie pullet, sometimes silkies take longer to start laying

This one I know, at least part of it. Bearded, and she's got such a sweet face I'm going to have to say pullet.

I am gonna gou out on a limb here and say bearded cockerel, look at the waddles coming in. I have a pullet same color about the same age with a very small comb and no waddles

And see, this is WHY I don't have silkies, other than my daughter's pets. I CANNOT for the life of me sex them. HOW do you guys do it? To me, unless they have a great big old honking comb on them, they all look pretty much alike.
