One of them has a bigger comb than the other. The other one doesn’t really have a comb at all. They both don’t really have any wattles yet.

I am inclined to think you may have a pair, but I am by no means certain. You may not see wattles as the bearded gene inhibits their growth. I think you will need to wait this out a bit longer. You should know in another month or so. That is normally when streamers start to grow from the crest of male silkies. :)
