4 week old barnyard mix - what gender?

[UrbanHenKamloops]

I have seven chicks that I’d love help s3xing. They are all from the same hatch, are 4 weeks old, and all come from blue or green eggs.

The barnyard mix included amaracauna to black copper marans, Sussex, Wyandotte’s, frizzles, barred rocks…

Okay, so as I'm sure you know, this is pretty young to be making guesses, but that doesn't mean it's not worth trying. I like this age, 3-6 weeks, to pick out the early developing boys. At three weeks, I guess wrong on about half the boys. By six weeks, I usually have a good idea of who's who. The good news is, I'm pretty sure your favorite is female. I really can't say that, I should really say it "doesn't have any male characteristics so far," but I think it's going to stay that way. The rest . . . I'm a little suspicious of all of them. Your favorite has a lovely little comb exactly the same shade as her beak. That's what you want to see at this point for girls. #3 is also kind of close. The rest all have a slight difference in coloration that's suspect. It could be the light, or it could be that in the next couple of weeks all of them will pink up and make themselves apparent as cockerels. That's my take. No obvious boys, can't really say for certain on girls, but lots to be watchful of.

Oh…absolutely early but I have a friend taking two tomorrow and I was hoping to give her a fair chance at hens I’ll likely check again in 4 weeks

I know she wants a brown and a black…of those ones are you able to see any more male characteristics yet?

thank you so much for your help!
