4 week old Dutch Bantams Guess

[HeatherKellyB]

I know it's early but wanted to ask if anyone felt like they could tell the sex of these 3 Dutch Bantams that my silkie pullet is raising? They are 4 weeks old now and I'm beginning to wonder if I have 3 cockerels, again (the first 3 chickens I owned ended up being cockerels). They all have very similar sized features, although nothing is huge.

Overlook my silkies mash coated beard and the water that my ducks just dirtied up. We're outside with them while they free range with their mom

I'd say too soon, they're cute! The dark one in the front *might* have a larger comb but it's really early to tell or guess in my opinion

I LOVE DUTCH BANTAMS! I AM OBSESSED! Hopefully I can get some in spring! They are so cute! It I should very early to tell though. Maybe some close-up pics of the combs would help?

I'll get some close up today.

Sorry I completely forgot to post the pictures but I did take them. My apologies.
The first chick is "Buffy". This one has an outgoing personality, like a cockerel, but it's not as aggressively assertive like the cockerels I've raised here.

The next one is Merida (the only princess we love) and she was the only one out of the 3 that hatched in the incubator (same day as the other 2 that hatched under broody mama) but was added under broody mama and accepted immediately.

Last but not least is Beatrice. This one is terrified of everything and can always be found right with Mama Bella (my broody silkie)

We always use feminine names until they prove otherwise

They are so cute. I’ll say keep a eye on Beatrice. The first two looks like pullets.

I'd also keep an eye on Beatrice :'( but it's a gorgeous bunch you got there!!

It's a bit early, but the first two appear to be pullets. Beatrice is the only one that looks a little sketch.

Hello again! So they're 7 weeks old now (49 days to be exact) and I got pictures today to share/update. I really don't see much, if any, change between now and 3 weeks ago. I would love to know what you're thinking. I don't usually get many pullets unless I purchase sexed pullets. I'm not exaggerating with that. The amount of roosters and cockerels that I have is insane, especially when compared to the hens and pullets. I'd be THRILLED if all 3 are pullets, but I'm not getting excited just yet.
First up is Buffy

Next is Merida

Last but not least is Beatrice (What color is she considered? I LOVE the very light buff lacing on her hackles. The rest of her body looks dark gray with black lacing. I know that I am not calling the colors by their correct names but I don't know the correct names)

Thank you for your time in looking and sharing your thoughts. I really appreciate you
