at what age can you start to tell the difference between roo and pullet? I have 4-4week olds i was was wondering.

I think it really depends on the breed. I could tell with my Cochins at about 3 weeks--some of them had much bigger/redder combs and wattles. I totally cannot tell with my silkies. What kind of chicks are they?

Hmm. Very cute chicks! Still may be too soon to tell. The second and third ones look like they might be roosters. You might also try posting these pics in the "what breed or gender is this" section--usually lots of people respond there.
