What gender are my silkies?

The partridge silkie is a pullet, color is the giveaway.

I believe your white silkie is a cockerel based off of it's comb.

This is very helpful, thanks heaps. As I mentioned earlier, I'm new to silkies, and I'd love to know how colour correlates to gender. Are all partridge silkies female, or is it just a certain shade or something?

No, not all partridge silkies are females.

The breast feathers, & overall coloring is female specific.

My sister's partridge silkie pullet for example. She's about the same age as your's in this picture.
 
An update on my silkies :)
This is them in their outdoor run. The partridge one (named Peanut) is looking a bit more like a pullet. Im guessing the white one (Bean) is a little rooster. Would like to know what other people think though
