Can you please help sex these Pekin X silkies (or pure pekin)

[elepre]

Hi Everyone,
I am looking for some help in sexing these chicks.
I believe they are Bantam Pekins OR Bantan Silkie X Pekins - they came from some mixed eggs so i am not 100% sure- the breeder said they would be pekin X silkies or pure pekins as the father was a pekin but the mothers were mixed
They are 3 months old - one of the chicks hatched in the same batch (1 random frizzle!) has just started crowing, so they might not be far off!
Big thanks!!!!

I think they're all female.

I think they're all female.

that would be amazing! but notice how photos 4 and 5 heads look quite different, unless thats because they are pure pekins perhaps and not X silkie.

Need better comb pics of 1 and 3. Chick 2 is a cockerel. Chicks 1-3 are Silkie/Pekin mixes.

Chicks 4 and 5 are Pekin pullets.

I don’t see any cockerels (males) here. You got lucky!

Both of these look like pullets too. Number 2 is your only cockerel.

Agree with Overo Mare on their sexes.

As for breed, I almost agreed that both 4 and 5 were pure Pekin and the others mixes as well, but then I noticed that number 5 has a fifth toe. Is that typical of Pekins? I thought they had four toes like our Cochin bantams over here.

Good eye! No, it's not. Looks like they are multi-generational Pekin/Silkie mixes. Retaining that 5th toe, but not the crest.

Though last spring I had a fried buy BC's from TSC and quite a few had five toes. That just tells me that Hoovers is mixing their stock, though.
