They are between 10 and 11 weeks. I'm pretty sure the gray is a cockerel. I'm also pretty sure the polish is a pullet. However, your opinions are more than welcome on those and the buff and white showgirl silkies. I have no idea about those two. I just hope all three of my silkies aren't boys.

No 100 percent sure but Showgirl looks like a pullet. At that age my cockerels are starting to show more wattles than that. Also I think your correct on the polish.
 
I don't know if a closer headshot would help or not. Maybe someone more expert than I could make an educated guess. Silkies to me can be tricky , sometimes the cockerels are very slow to mature. I think that up right stance could be a good clue, also any streamers coming from their head feathers. Sometimes that's the best first indicator.
 
I'm not really seeing streamers from any heads, but the gray one has the rough-ish hackle feathers. I'm not seeing much wattle pin any of them. I did see some curved streamers on fluffy tails of the gray and showgirl. Does this mean anything with silkies?
 
I'm updating with better comb pics on the silkies. Someone was trying to crow this morning, and I'm on a mission to figure out who. I suspect the showgirl, but my back was turned. The combs on the blue and showgirl look pretty much the same. The comb on the buff is much smaller. I was able to pull feathers back better this morning.

I would suspect the showgirl, too. The gray/blue one is another possible candidate. The buff's comb looks very small, so that is probably not the culprit.

Are you positive it's not one of your other chickens?
