They're a little to young to tell, in a week or two they will make themselves very clear

They are way too cute. I agree a little early on the sex, three more weeks should do it.

You'll know in about a week which sex is which. They grow fast! Sometimes the females trick you into thinking they are male. Keep an eye on the feathering too, the males will have different feathering soon.

Muffin's spots were fully in by 8 months of age. Here she is at a year.(poor quality photos)
