I have about a dozen rainbow and Grey Rangers. Is there a way to tell them apart -cockerel or pullet- based on their coloration when they are only a few weeks old for either type?

(Don't mind the black ones in this picture they're supposed to be wyandottes)
 
I think it's too early to tell, but if you post some pics in a few weeks we can probably tell you. Look for sickle feathers in their backs-long shiny pointy feathers. Only roosters have them.

Darn! I was hoping like other breeds there might be some telltale pattern markers between the sexes

The sickle on this cockerel (I had to give him away, he's my rooster's son) are easily seen. They are the long shiny ones on his rump.
