I have 2 almost 2 month old silkies and I can’t seem to figure out if they are hens or Roos. Here are some pictures of them:

Silkies are really hard to sex but my best guess is that the first one is male and the second one is maybe a female. I could be wrong.
 
I’d say it’s a little bit to early, but I’ll try and guess looking their hair. I’d say at this point in time the first is a cockerel and the second is a pullet. Post again when they are about 4 months old.
 
The black one is a cockerel based on comb.

May I ask where you got the Cuckoo? I've been wanting that color.

I hatched the cuckoo from my cuckoo rooster. My rooster was turning 3 so I wanted to get another cuckoo, from him. There is a place in Manitoba that sells cuckoo silkies, you can find it on Facebook.
