Silkie thread!

Ok so my dad brought me home 3 silkies and I have no idea on genders but I am thinking 2 boys and a girl but thought I'd post here to see if anyone can help me out. The smallest is 3 months old and I'm thinking is the female (one in the background in 1st pic). The other 2 (4months old) I'm thinking males judging by the size of their waddles and bigger combs then the littlest one but still not 100% sure so any help would be appreciated.

I know that there are silkie sexing forums, but I'm didn't get any responses regarding my silkies. They were born June 23, which makes them about 3.5 months old.

Overhead view of the 3 siblings. One has some gray feathers mixed in with the black. The other two are similar, with the main difference being that one has a bigger poof on his/her head. All 3 have identical combs and wattles that are very tiny. The combs & wattles were non-existent when I bought them 3 weeks ago. Their "poofs", which I'm sure is not the technical term, seem even in length with no "fly always" so far.

Silkie #1: Smokey (grayish feathers)

Silkie #2: Bandit (solid black, smaller "poof")

Silkie#3: BoBo (solid black, large round poof)

I don't have any non bearded ones but from the looks of them they seem more pullet like I know the female non bearded can have large comb and waddles compared to bearded but none seem to big or red I hope that makes sense

They are pretty young to know whose who. Silkies are one of the hardest breeds to sex so don't get your hopes up based on what other people say. I've learned that the hard way, lol

@Fancychooklady breeds non-bearded and bearded Silkies and would be the best to guess at your birds. She likes the non-bearded a bit more because they stay neater/cleaner than the bearded varieties. Her guesses at your birds will be more accurate than most of the rest of us with bearded-only Silkies.
