Sorry I can’t help with the gender (I am so new to chickens), I just wanted to say they are all so gorgeous!

It's hard to tell on the black one but I think the others are all girls. I'm not seeing any streamers on the heads and the tails look very round. They are Silkies though so It's hard to tell until they crow or lay an egg.

What age? Up close on combs might help.

This is what I thought too. And you are so right! I had a girl actually crow thought she was a boy and then started laying eggs six months later.

I bought a Black Silkie and the owner thought it was a hen. A few months later 'she' started crowing.
