Both cockerels is my guess, but I am not too great with silkies. @LadiesAndJane will be better help
Thanks for the tag.😊 I agree, they are both looking like boys so far, especially chick 1. Combs are slightly raised. BUT, silkies can fool you. Even though I am fairly confident they are cockerels, if you are able to wait it out a bit longer, until they are closer to 4 months of age, I would.
They may very well present themselves before then. I have had silkie cockerels start crowing at 3 months!
You will see streamers start to grow out of the back of the crest if they are boys. These are thicker and coarser than regular feathers. Combs will normally turn a dark mulberry color and you may or may not see wattles.😊
