8 week old peachicks. Peacocks or peahens?

I know they are still a bit young to tell but I thought I would ask anyway. Can anyone give me an educated guess as to gender?They are 8 weeks old. (The black hen is named Ebony. She has been a good mama.)

Does anyone have at least a guess?

Males tend to have a more barred pattern. But, it's subjective and far from foolproof. My guess would be top left and bottom left female, Center left male

Thank you for your response. I was hoping for some hens so...fingers crossed.

Just a wild guess, but I'm gonna say 1 girl & 2 boys.

A picture of their chests would be good too since you can usually tell by the pattern they have there.

We have a young peacock the same age as yours. Last week I thought male because of the barring. Now it is getting green on the back of the neck and white on the chest.... just like it's mother. My wife says I made this same mistake the last time we raised a peafowl chick and it turned out to be a male.

I will try to get more pictures showing the chest area.
