They all like buffs. The second one might be a red, possibly a partridge. I think they are all roosters though...they have that slicked back crests.

this is the only one i know is female, she is older than rest and lays eggs, the white one.

The third buff one and the white one are pullets and the others are roos. If they are all the same age. Sorry.

I have 3 black silkies 6 weeks old. I never had a Silkie before. How big do they get?

 

[marie_martin]

They are considered a bantam breed but are a little bigger than the typical bantams like OEGB's. I am not sure about the exact weights but you can do a search for them on feathersite and it gives lots of info.
