I agree with genders.
These little ones look younger than 3 months of age to me.
Also on the fence with the first one.

Your silkie males may not crow for awhile yet. If you have other boys around, may keep them from crowing, too.

I see one buff, 1 black, and two whites (one of which has a fault)

Can you number the individual birds?

My silkies started crowing at 16-20 weeks old. It kinda sounds like a cow_X_strangled_cat when they start, it gets better later on XD

I had one that sounded like a baby crying for the first few weeks, it was a little freaky.
