7 week old Peachick sexing and color?

[jll536]

Hi. I have three 7 week old Peachicks. there were two that were supposed to be indian blue and there was a light one and they told me they weren't sure what it would end up being. Was just curious if there are any ideas on what the light one would end up being as far as color? Also, is it possible to sex at this age? I did look through the forum, but depending on the lighting the barring looks different and I just can't tell if its fading and I have females or if these are males? This is my first attempt at baby peafowl. We have an adult peahen that ended up here a year ago and she needs some friends.

It's a Black Shoulder India Blue probably.
I can't tell genders of the others without good chest pictures, but one of them looks female.

Here are some chest pictures. It was hard to get them to stay still enough for good photos, is this what you needed to see? Is it possible to sex the one that is the potential indian blue black shoulder at this age?

All hens, one Black Shoulder and two Wild Pattern.

Ok, Thank you. I miscalculated the age, they are 6 weeks not 7. Just curious, because I am trying to learn, how can you tell they are all hens?

Scattered wide barring on the back of the Wild Pattern and the light gray with no tick marks on the back feathers on the BS hen.

These are Spalding Red Buff chicks but the markings show the difference between hen and cock in a more pronounced way. These are also about five to six weeks old.
