Can u tell if male or female? Black Shoulder chicks 1 to 2 months

[new 2 pfowl]

I just got this 8 week old peachick. I'm wondering if were able to tell is he's a peahen or a peacock. He also keeps breathing funny. This is the first time I've ever had a peacock so I have many questions. I gave him/her some antibiotics in its water but its still breathing funny. it just opens and closes its mouth repeatedly like its breathing hard.

Well my babies have sure grown. Two smaller ones are 2 months and larger one is almost 3 months. I am thinking I have BS female smaller IB female and large IB male. Anyone else see this? I am such a novice when it comes to sexing them. Any help would be appreciated

The guy in the middle is the only one that looks like a male for me.

I may have to follow we have been lucky and gotten an egg from a friend of ours that doesn't use an incubator
so we're seeing what happens.
