I have four silkies that are around 5months old, we got them from a breeder when they were 3.5months old and he was not able to tell us there genders. We are trying to figure out there genders so we can name them.

Have made any crowing attempts? They should have started by now or late blooming. Fourish months typically they start to try. From the stance the hens usually look more squated , carry themselves lower to the ground, have a pom pom tail. The male's tend to stand tall allot of the time and you'll start to see little streamers of feathers on his backs side instead of the pom pom cotton ball look.
 
Can you get pictures of them standing angled from the side? The last red looks like a cockerel and white a pullet but I'm on the fence about the other two. Side pictures can reveal shoulder patches that indicate gender :)

The red one refused to stand still, this is the best picture I could take...
