What gender are my 3 silkies?

Super adorbs!

I will tag a couple of Silkie keepers that might know the genders.

Silkies are really challenging, I can make some reasonable guesses on my own but that's with watching them a few times a day and sometimes I still can't tell for a few months

Your black one I want to guess is a cockerel, it does have a single comb though so comb growth can be deceptive.

Can you get side views of each of them just standing naturally? Try to get them in a relaxed state.

I'm leaning towards 3 cockerels. I have some red silkies, but only my boys are that bright. The bit of standing posture I see from the white looks male. Also most silkie females have very small combs a 3 months.

@2ndTink Thank you, here are some pictures I hope it helps. I would love if brown one was hen,but maybe they are too small to know right now. Black and white have the same comb like you can see it,but brown doesn't have anything it's just straight.

It would be best if they are 3 cockerels or just one male,but I don't know there are many opinions.

I love the picture of the three together!

I am leaning that all 3 are boys, if so, they may do well together as a little bachelor trio.
