I think the splash is a boy, and the top one a girl and the white one no clue. Based purely on guessing :-D I have better luck sexing based on personality. The boys stand up straighter and stretch their necks out more. Girls also tend to feather out quicker. But, again, all guessingOk I will post mine here, I posted a thread earlier today but have not seen any replies yet! I have three that are 8 weeks old, one white, one paint and one blue. Here they are!
Thank you for your help!!!
If you took pictures of their combs and posted them on here we would have a lot better estimate of what they are.Ok I will post mine here, I posted a thread earlier today but have not seen any replies yet! I have three that are 8 weeks old, one white, one paint and one blue. Here they are!

A couple of days ago I put 4 young light sussex bantam pullets in the pen with my 5 white unsexed silkies( 11.5 weeks old) Boo my favorite started to strut around, grew big wattles and his comb doubled in size, he also grew about 1 inch in height, all this happened over a couple of days. This morning my Cream Legbar Rooster was crowing and then I heard a near perfect but higher pitched crow and it was Boo, chest out, wings back. I was so shocked I almost fell over. He has changed so much over such a short period of time I am convinced it was because I added the young unrelated pullets to his pen and he decided that he wanted to stake his claim on them.My fear now is one ( or more) of the others are males. If I had the room I would remove Boo from the pen and see if any of the others decide to show themselves as male. I believe that while there is a dominant male in the group the other males take a back seat and will develop more slowly and even hide their sex.
