4 week bantams too early maybe but I’ve got some contenders! New to bantams and chicks in the grand scheme.

#1 very submissive and will shy away rarely stands to full height. (Thinking roo)

#2 sweet but skiddish. Also does a lot of crouching down and running in the other direction. First one of the bunch with a tail and now has the shortest one. (Probably roo)

#3 this one is a runner and likes to peck others. Typical chick stuff working out pecking order I guess.

#4 runs around scared all the time but sweet if held doesn’t peck much. (My guess pullet)

Too early to be sure about the males, but I agree with you in suspecting #1 and #2 based on the combs and especially the red looking wattles. If those ones are male, then the combs & wattles should become much more obvious over the next few weeks. If they are females playing tricks on us, they will probably be "maybes" for quite a while.

Way too early for the females. It's quite common for there to be some males that "look like" females at this age and become obvious later, and of course the actual females would also "look like" females.
