Sexing silkies that young you would need services of one of these.

It is possible for individuals that raise them to do so based on their observed behavior. Even they don't get it always.
Generally,,,,,, when they start laying eggs or crow,,, can you be certain.

Thanks, I just thought some could with their wattles and appearance of feathers growing in. But no worries

Many chickens you can do so, but Silkies are SUPER DIFFICULT to do so.
Like I mentioned above. Peeps that raise them, have the advantage of observing the behavior, and have more insight.

I really just wanted to see what those people that raise silkies would say about mine as I've seen tons of posts on here with even younger silkies than mine, ranging from 6-20 weeks, with lots of responses. But I'll just wait I guess

I'd say the two in the bottom pictures are both Cockerels..

The third picture and the 2nd to the last picture (silver partridges) looks like pullets. The first one (paint) looks like it could be a pullet too but too early to say.

The best thing to do is wait..
Everyone sees something different..
