Silkie sexing

I'd appreciate opinions on what sex these four silkies are. Put in two pics of each.

How old?

How old?

I've had them for 10 weeks but they were different ages I would assume by their size when I got them. The first two are now 1.5 pounds, the partridge is about 1.2 and the paint is under a pound still...smallest when I got them. If any of that helps. I'm guessing between 10-16 weeks.

Thank you for providing the additional information. I think the Paint is a female - she just looks daintier compared to the other three. The partridge maybe as well, but it's hard to see under all the floof.

Do the other three have any tuft streamers? The photo below is a good one that illustrates streamers. I borrowed the photo from a chicken group.

the red comb on the first 2 looks somewhat suspicious if under 16 weeks but overall shape etc look to me like all pullets. you will know for sure soon as my cockerels started crowing by 16 weeks and developed wattles in addition to the red combs.

Thank you all so much. The first blue has wattles, the blue frizzle has very small ones. Don't see any streamers yet but first one may just be getting some...very small though. None on the frizzle or other two though. The first one started developing the wattles a month ago, so maybe I'm going to hear some crowing soon.

I agree the red comb on the cuckoo is rooster-like, but that one also looks very much like a hen, so I'm not sure. Very pretty cuckoo!

The paint and the partridge look like pullets to me.
