They're cute, whichever they are! From what I've read, Silkies are notoriously hard to sex so you may have to wait until someone either lays an egg or crows

You could try posting on this forum, you might get more opinions from the gender pros:
What Breed Or Gender is This?

Silkies can be hard to sex. Roosters will usually have their crest pointing backwards, with sort of streamer like feathers coming from it. They will also have a larger comb.

Here's a pair of my younger silkies, a rooster and hen. They're about 7 months old, both from the same genetic line.

Could you get pics with their crest pulled back so we can see the combs better?

I'm a newbie but from that last picture all 3 in the front look like hens.

They all look alike to me and I think hens also (I am hoping)

My rooster has "streamers" sticking out of his head and he stands more upright at that age. But... I've only had 4 roosters total as my experience so my opinion is worth less than 2 Mexican centavos. Hah hah.

Check out my Avatar pic. That's my first rooster. I think he was 3 months old in this picture.

I had silkies about that age. 2 were roosters and would square off with each other. They never did that to the little hen that was with them.
