Can you sex my 4 week old EE, Ancona, and Production Black? new pics at 6 weeks

They are all supposed to be pullets.  I'm nervous, because the PB's tail feathers are barely existent.  This is my first flock, so I have no prior experience.

 

The Production Black is on the left.

Any guesses?

oh dear.  Well I can tell you only the male black sexlinks are barred.  The other two I'm not sure.

I bought all three at a feed store that got them from Ideal.  According to Ideal's website the adult production blacks are barred, so I don't think that determines sex.  Is it too early to tell?

hm.  I've never heard of a production black that was barred on both hen and rooster so disregard my comment then.

ETA: 110% girl on the EE - that is a very common pullet pattern - and boys just can not have it
