    Gender of (I think) leghorns and black australorps: 4 weeks

    Hello! I’m trying to determine if I have hens or roosters, this is our first flock so I’m not sure what to look for. They are all about 4 weeks old, can you tell at this age or do I need to wait longer? Thanks! (Also can anyone confirm that the white ones are leghorns?)
