Hard to see, but if you're talking about the one in the middle I would guess it's blue due to the darker head and neck... Lavender should be a more uniform shade all across the body... easiest way to tell blue from lavender is blue is laced while lavender is not...

I k ow it's hard to tell age young, but this 4 week old faced off my little naked neck chick this afternoon. Opinions?

Pullets will face off with each other at that age. It's all pecking order related, and in no way indicates gender.

Mine are almost 4 weeks old too. I have noticed two different comb styles... and have noticed since they were way younger. Is this typical of the breed? If the wider combs are males then I have 4 males and 2 females or do some female chicks have this style comb?

Pea combs can show gender, not guaranteed but fairly accurate IME.....1 row of peas is female, 3 rows is male.
Not always accurate in EE's as they are crosses of who knows what and often have modified peacombs.
