Would love to hear some educated guesses! This is my first time raising chicks. I have 5 Buff Orpingtons. 3 of them are larger with fluffy tail feathers like #1 in the pic. #2 has a similar larger body, but tail is shorter and not fluffy. #3 is smaller and has almost no tail. Also has much smaller, almost non-existant comb yet. Thoughts on sex? I'm learning so much from this forum!

Its hard to make a truly accurate guess until 6 weeks or so but I would love to see what they look like so far! Also no photos are showing.
 
Having a hard time getting pics, they scatter as soon as I open the door and really dont want me to catch them!

I know it's very early to tell, I was mostly curious about the differences in their tail feathers.
 
Hmm, the tail feathers don't really give you an idea until they are around 13 weeks old. At the moment those combs are pretty big and pink for 3-4 weeks.
