Silkies - do I have one of each??

[Yolko-ono]

I have two 4 week-old silkie chicks and ideally both will be pullets!!! but I have a suspicion the white one is a boy. Any guesses?? I’ll attach pics below

Too early to tell.

Silkies are one of the hardest breeds to sex, and it is currently to early to sex yours.

That’s what I thought but thought I’d ask just incase lol. What age does it become obvious?

Depends on the individual bird and the quality. I've had some obvious cockerels at 6 weeks because of the size of their comb or combs turning red, but usually for my birds 13 - 17 weeks is when I can start to get an accurate guess in some. Usually by 25 - 26 weeks you can pretty clearly see what they are. At least in my experience.
