First time with silkies boys or girls?

[Alluundra]

I hatched these cuties from eggs purchased online from Alabama Silkies. The eggs made a looooong journey here to Idaho and after another couple of days finally came to rest in the incubator. Out of 8 eggs I got 5 babies. They are now almost 8 weeks old. 3 couldn't wait any longer and hatched July 3rd, didn't want to miss out on the fireworks. One finally popped on the 4th and decided it was it's own firework. And the last lil baby was a surprise as the air pocket took up half the eggs. This July 5th babe is the smallest boss of the flock. So now to the birds.

Silkie are super hard to tell esp when young. So I can't tell you if it's a cockerel or pullet but I can tell you what I look for as they mature. I'm not sure if it'll do you any good but I'll share anyways.
What i look for is the stance. Roos tend to stand taller, Pullets almost look squatted. Roos often has little streamers on the top of their heads that stick out past the poof. If they have feathers on the face cheek feathers are more pronounced and bigger wattles. Pullets tail feathers tend to look more pom-pom like than arched. Of course the crow...ha.ha that's always a dead give away.
Attached is a pic of my male and female and you can see clearly the pom pom tail verses a large arching feathering.

We know for sure until later, but they all seem to be girls. The only one I would say could be a boy is the second one.

Beautiful birds. Love the white satin in the 3rd photo. I got my silkie hatching eggs from Alabama silkies as well. Great people!
I agree they are all looking pretty girly!

Thank you! Going to try and get some updated pics.

Update!
I'm fairly sure the partridge (light gray looking) is male and the rest are female. Talks quite a bit and the upright tail feathers are stiffer than in any others. They are almost 3 months old now.

I’m not seeing it. Still looks like a girl to me. Do you have a close-up of the comb on the partridge/gray one?

Nope, but I have lots butt shots, partly why I call them flufferbutts. Here is a pic of what I mean with the tail though.

Will try in the AM maybe if someone else can hold while I attempt to move the pompom to the side?
