Is my Silkie a roo?

[Whattheflock15]

I got 3 silkies, two look alike and are the same size (black and white ones, which I’m leaning towards they are females) the gray one I have a hunch is a rooster, as he chases and is significantly larger than the other two. All are 8, almost nine weeks.

We unfortunately don’t want roosters, but hoping that I’m wrong because it’s so sweet and loves to perch on my shoulder.

The size difference may indicate that there are some differences in genetics, more so than just gender. Many times silkie don't show obvious differences until around 12 weeks.

On the other hand I would guess the bird in question to be a male. The comb is quite wide for a silkie at 9 weeks and the stance also could be a sign of a male.

I agree that the larger one looks like a male because of the stance and comb.

obviously I know it’s a guessing game, at this age especially.. but these two looks flatter, do you think they could be girls? They have the same shaped crest.

Thank you.
I posted a close up of the other two if you wouldn’t mind looking at them as well.
