Wondering if anyone can help me figure out what gender these buttons are. They're almost 7 weeks old. The third on im sure is a male, but does anyone know what his coloring would be called? As a chick he was yellow. Pics 1&2 are one bird, pics 3&4 are one bird, pic 5 is one bird, and 6 7 & 8 are one bird. I tried to get pictures of both front and back. Both of the tuxedos look like they may have a hint of red in the ends of their feathers, but the feathers around their vent, and on their chest are white. The white one has a super light grey tuxedo marking on it, but no red whatsoever.

may sound weird but if you raise their tail and look at their butt, you can see if it’s a male of female depending on if there is something that looks like a male part.
 
I tried that, but I'm not exactly sure what I'm looking for. They said the females are supposed to have a longer thinner vent (before they lay), and the males are supposed to have a bump that looks like a pimple, but again, I couldn't see either. 😣
