These silkies are about three months old. They came from show quality birds. I was wondering if you could help me sex them.
First silkie: Buff (No comb and is the smallest)


Second Silkie: 1 week older Black



Third silkie: Splash (Single comb has been developing since it was tiny)



Fourth Chicken: "Blue" (suppose to be blue but looks black to me. This one has a larger comb than black but it is still rather small)


Fifth: White (medium sized lumpy comb)

So what do you think? This is our first time getting silkies from a breeder so they look a lot diff than our hatchery chicks. Im fearful that they are all roosters except for the black and possibly the buff. Thanks for the help

None of them look, to me, like roosters. I had a black Silkie rooster that had a much bigger comb than all of yours at this same age. He never had noticeable streamers. Although I had another rooster with a very small comb that developed long streamers. There could be streamers starting to develop on yours but it's hard to tell from the pictures. They are beautiful Silkies! It'll be a little bit easier to tell in a few weeks.
 
They all look like pullets to me, but I could definitely be wrong. Silkies are very difficult to sex.
