silkie sexing

I have 2 silkies and its bugging me that i cant figure out the sex! my blue silkie is not growing as fast so i did not spend a lot of time getting pictures but the white one is starting to show some good feathering. they are 8 weeks old tomorrow. Pullets or Roosters?
Just a guess, the white is a roo and the blue is a pullet.
 
Here is Ravyn :) or Ray. Not sure lol (at 7 weeks) Have any ideas?


















I also have a Blue, named Bloo :) not the best pics though (at 8 weeks)








I'm sorry, I can't spot signs that either one is a cockerel or a pullet at this point. Maybe post new pictures in 2-4 weeks?
 


What gender do you think? Thank you for any help!
This lil one is so cute! Porcelain or splash? Stance looks like a hen, crest isn't grown in enough to determine if it is swept back or going to be full and poofy and no visible signs of red comb or waddles. Could be a pullet at this point IMO.
 
She/he is adorable♡♡♡right now I'd say it's too early. They have so much changing to do just yet. Maybe in another month id post back.
 
so if they get red combs are they generally a roo? I am saying generally cuz i'm sure there are exceptions to everything out there...

have some developing red combs... exciting times!!!!
 
Red combs are not a desirable trait in showing and can occur in hens.
ah nuts, so what color are they supposed to be, it's not exactly red I guess, I better take a picture..... it's just starting to show up... it's not blue/black tho I know that for sure, are pink hues to it. I guess I was going by the postings above about red combs and such, just generalizing.... the one it's showing up on I had pegged for a hen too....
