Silkie guessing game

[silkiemelon]

Yes, the infamous silkie, the chicken who's gender no one seems to know.

Well, here are two of mine. They are 4 1/2 months old, and I've gotten many different opinions on them.
But I really want to KNOW what they are, not just "maybe".

Here's Linky:




Here's Pompadour:




Any ideas? (Please say pullet!

) If they are boys, I have to get rid of them, so I'm really hoping for some girls here.

I'm thinking both are pullets.

If I'm right, then lucky you! I got 2 Silkies last year and both were cockerels.

black ones a cockerel i can see streamers coming out from the crest. the white i am leaning towards pullet on

 

[silkiemelon]

No! Not streamers!
I'm not sure, one of their buddies started crowing a month ago, but these guys haven't, and they are the same age.
Maybe they are late bloomers. Or maybe they'll lay an egg instead of crow.
I don't know!

The white one looks like a girl to me.

I agree, that black one looks sketchy. I'm not sure what he/she could be...maybe pullet?

 

[silkiemelon]

It seems like the black one is still up in debate.
Any other ideas on him/her?
Any ideas would be great.
