Silkies -- gender and color help please

[daproper]

My silkie chicks are now 7 weeks old. I think the first buff is a roo ????? This is Moose, silkie #1

I am hoping this is a hen so we end up with a breeding pair. Any ideas?? This one is called Spot because it had a spot on it's head as a chick, silkie #2

This is silkie #3. It's name is Puff because of the large puff it used to have on it's head. We were thinking this was also a roo and that it's a blue.

This is silkie #4. Her (hopefully) name is Veronica. Some have said she's a Self blue, others a lavender. Any opinions on gender and color??

This is a new silkie, #5. It's only about 4 weeks old. Do you think it's a blue or black?

Thanks for you help.

Definitely just guessing as Silkies are very tough BUT...

Buff Roo
Buff Hen
Blue Hen
Lavender Hen
Blue Roo

Total guesses... maybe one of the Silkie experts on here would have some better ideas.

Colors are:

Buff
Blue
Splash

As far as sex, the first one looks like a roo, but I can't tell on the others yet.

Agreed. #5 looks blue, at least on my computer.

Looks more black on mine.

Yes, with a darker bird, the nuances of colour can appear different, and are really difficult to photograph accurately.
