6 week old silkies, Roos??

[Jlwarn92]

Hey everyone! We hatched out 12 silkies for the first time. Out of the 6 we kept, I’m worried 5 of them may be Roos!

I checked the silkie sexing guide and most of our chicks appear to have big combs for only 6 weeks, but this is also our first time with silkies.

We are obviously going to wait for the egg or the crow, just hoping maybe someone can offer some guidance to if these combs are as big as I think they are or if I’m (hopefully) looking too close.

Thanks in advance!

I'm thinking #2 and 3 are cockerels but I'm sure the experts will be able to tell you more
