Can you tell if thes are male or female 4 weeks old

[HuDa2022]

Can y'all tell if these are male or female? I thought I could tell by which one's got their tail feathers faster, all of them got their tail feathers fast except for three of them and they just now started getting feathers, I figured that meant they were males. Since they got their tail feathers so much later than the others. I only have one Plymouth bar Rock rooster and then I have australorps and well summer and green-legged Partridge hens I attached pictures the one I think is my rooster has the way shorter tail, a lot shorter than all the others I tried to get him and all the pictures. And get the female tails and some for y'all to see the difference

You will need to post individual pictures without the bars in the way.
It's really difficult to specify about a single bird when they are in a group.

Please post individual pictures of each.

Okay I will tomorow I'm sorry got a sick kiddo, should I make a new post or comment on this one, I figured the pictures would not be good enough I just have them inside because it got cold and rainy and my spot outside away from the big chickens doesn't have a roof yet

You'll need a close-up of combs, side view would be best, so we can see wattles, too. I hope your youngster feels better soon!

Picture 3, 4 and 6 is the one I think is the boy, you can see his waddle, and he got his tail much slower than all the other ones I thought were female, the one I think is female her tail came in much sooner, and the other colored one I assumed was female too cuz her tail came in faster than the two or three meals I think I have

Are those the breeds of the chicks in the pictures?
Or are those the breeds of the parents?

Those are the breed of the parents, I'm pretty sure the black barred ones have the astrolarp mommas, I only have one plymouth rock barred black and white rooster, well I have a sebright too but he is seperate

OK, that makes it much clearer.

I have generally not noticed tail feathers growing at different speeds for males or females.

all of them got their tail feathers fast except for three of them and they just now started getting feathers, I figured that meant they were males.

With this many total chicks, you probably have more than three males (although if it turns out the tails were accurate, please do update when you are sure. That would be very useful to know!)

At their current age (4 weeks) it might be possible to pick out some males, if they have bigger/redder combs and wattles than the females. But that method will be more reliable when they are a few weeks older. Not all males develop at the same rate, so it is pretty common to have a few that are obvious early on, and others that become obvious later, and sometimes a few that keep everyone guessing for months (those are frustrating, but thankfully they are fairly rare.)
