I understand it’s difficult to sex bantams but I’m wondering if anyone might be able to tell the gender on these two silkies?

Definitely! Are these sufficient?Can I get some close-up pictures of their combs?
Could I get some head-on? To narrate for you, (so you can learn for the future, not that I don't love sexing silkies!) at this age the most obvious giveaway is comb size. You can read this article for more details: https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/sexing-silkies.75451/

I'd guess the black is a girl and the white is a boy, but they are a bit young. I'll follow this thread!
Thank you! I'm hoping both turn out to be girls, but we'll see. I really didn't want to have roosters in my coop but these two seem to really get along, so I don't want to separate them. We put two little chicks in the brooder with them and they have really taken to taking care of them. It's really sweet and cute. The little chicks will sleep underneath them lol.I'd guess the black is a girl and the white is a boy, but they are a bit young. I'll follow this thread!
