Can anyone tell me if these are boys or girls?? Fingers crossed that they are girls, but I think the blue is a cockerel

How old? They are both gorgeous and to me they look like girls at this stage, not much comb development. Why do think one looks like a boy?

They all look like they could be girls right now. No one has a comb that stands out.

I also think these little ones have no obvious male traits yet at this point so could be girls. Depending on age they may still be too young to judge very well though.

I think what you're seeing on your blue are pinned feathers that have just come in, not streamers. That will fall off and make the feathers less "pointy" looking. So far, I'm seeing girls

Totally agree...all girlees so far!

Yes, then that’s what I’m seeing!!!

Thank you all!!! I’m not exactly sure on their age

As others have said before, definitely looking like pullets! Based on the pictures, I'd estimate their age to be between four and six months.

@Gammas Bearded Babies who owns or sells these pretty silkies!
