Hello everyone. We have been in the backyard chicken game for a while now. Recently we acquired a bunch of silkie chicks from a coworker. 7 total. We have 3 pure silkie chicks and 4 crosses. 2 other rosters on the farm were a RIR and some Big marsh rooster.

I really want this white one to be a pullet but my gut is telling me roo. It has a pretty fat comb on its head and fights with a known cockrel every once and a while but backs down quick. They are about 4 months old.

I will get some better pictures but is there any sure fire way to figure this out?
 
I see lots of roosters, first photo is a rooster, second picture, all those on the right are roosters, and the third photo might be a pullet, but you might have to wait a bit to be sure about that one..
 
I figured most were roosters. The dark black one is already crowing. This little brown one I am pretty sure is a hen.

and 2 of the 3 pure silkie are hens but i am only guessing because of the lack of a pronounced comb.
