Straight Feathered Silkie Roo or Hen?

[Familyof8isalwayslate]

I am very new to having chickens and still love learning!

We have had these silkies since October 2021. The farmer we bought them from gave us 4, with 3 definitely being females and 1 maybe Roo. We lost two recently and now I have no idea if we still might have a roo. They are very close in size with one being slightly bigger.

Okay, so it seems to me you have a boy and a girl. On the second to last photo of both of them together, the one on the left looks like a roo and the one on the right looks like a hen. I say this because of the size difference in their combs and wattles. Also their hairdos are slightly different. The male's is slightly streaming back while the female's is more of a all around poof ball. Hope this helps!

Agree with above posters, at this age these are female. They are not Silkies when they have smooth feathers. You could call them satins or silkie crosses.

They are very close in size and subtle differences, so being a newbie I thank you all for your help and input!!!
