I know welsummers are auto sexing but I'm having a little doubt. I'm guessing I have two pullets and a too, can anyone help me confirm that?
This is the pullet:

Yeah, the chest feathers are as early as I try on these. I know folks claim they can tell with tiniest babies but I think there is a giant gray area with a few on each end of obvious.
 
The second one is a pullet, she had the distinct eyeliner and is darker in color. I believe the first is a cockerel, since it’s lighter and the eyeliner isn’t as distinct. Wait for others to chime in, I’m relatively new at this 🙂

I just wanted to update for those that will look here to try and sex their welsummer.
The bird in question was indeed a roo. At almost 5 weeks the chest feathers are coming in dark and the comb and waddles are already in. He is also doing chest bumbs with my 6 wk old silkie roo all day long.
Here are a few pictures of him now:
