Ok - they're just over 1 week old. All looking the same, acting the same - good. Appear to be drinking and eating, but I'm not watching them. Just the gray one looks as if it's swollen or something? And has a little feces around it. The other 2 look clean and "normal."

I read somewhere that the pullets start getting their tail feathers sooner? I THINK the 2 gold ones that look "normal" have more tail feathers than the gray one, but who knows. So I don't know if something is wrong or if it's just a rooster or what?
 
looks normal to me...

Did you look at the 2nd picture? The first picture is of one of the "normal" chicks. The 2nd one is the one I'm concerned about.
