Silkie sexing help

[Relynn]

Any thoughts on "Delilah"?! 4 month old silver silkie.

And on "Clementine"?? 2 month old buff silkie.

The black one looks like a cockerel to me, the buff looks like a pullet. I am no expert however, just a guess from the 2 cockerels that I had to rehome.

I've started having a feeling that the giant ball of fluff maybe male but he hasn't cock-a-doodle-dooed yet so I was wondering what someone else thought too. Thanks!

Do you have another rooster? A more dominant one? Sometimes if there is a more dominant rooster already crowing, then the others will not. Mine did not start crowing until I rehomed my other full size roosters... but they did end up crowing... right now I have a RIR roo, and I am waiting to rehome him till he crows... which I am sure will be soon.

No this is my first ever "flock" and was hoping for all girls but now I love them all and even if it's a roo I wouldn't be able to give him up!

If he was a mean bully chicken I might feel differently but it's my actual cuddle bug of all my chickens!
