Does this feather color indicate cockerel? 4 week chicks

[Jlwarn92]

Hello all! I am wondering if I can sex these chicks I was gifted from a friend based off of their feathering at this point? The chicks are 4 weeks old and they are bred from a lavender roo with possible mothers being rhode island reds and Easter eggers. All of the Easter egger hens have pea combs if this helps at all.

Now to my question. Pretty much all of the chicks hatched out black. As they have grown they have stayed black with a dark rust coloring on their chest. Four out of the five of my chicks have single combs. My largest chick I suspect to be a cockerel not only because of already pink waddles and comb, but because of his very obvious orange chest feathers. The rest have very dark rust. Is it possible to sex based off of these feather colors? Pictures of what I feel is an obvious roo vs what I am hoping is a pullet. I am curious if this is an anomaly or can help me sex the other chicks as well. Thanks!!

No, this is not one of the varieties where males and females have different color patterns. I think this one just happens to have more red than the rest of them. It is looking like a probable cockerel based on comb and wattle size at that age. The other looks to be a pullet so far.
