So my chicks are getting pretty big and all of them almost have all of their feathers in. I noticed two of the chicks have longer tail feathers, they're bigger than the other three and I think I've heard one of them try to crow. Any opinions?

We've got several almost 4 weeks old. It is so hard to tell except two are much darker so they are girls. The rest have some black on the legs with varried comb development so most of them are 50/50 to us. Sorry this doesn't help, just wanted to share the frustration that some are just hard to know at this age
 
It's weird...in the last pic, the one closest to the camera looks like a cockerel...maybe it's just me.

Post pics again in a couple weeks. Enjoy those beauties!

Some pictures of all the girls (maybe?). This is the first time I've taken proper photos of them all individually. Still don't have names for them yet, so for now they're just numbered.
