4 months old.
I'll add pictures of #2, #3 and #4.
I got rid the the first one very early on, before I even posted pictures the first time. But he was definitely a boy.

Thank you to everyone who gave a guess. Very good guesses too! 😊👍

Just to point out, for future reference, out of the 4, 3 had almost identical feather markings when they were younger, and one had very sparse coloring and was quite black. The odd one out. Out of those patterns, 2 were boys & 2 were girls, and the odd black sparse markings one was a girl (the darker girl in the last photo). So to anyone thinking the difference in color is possibly showing male versus female (like I was), that is not a tale tale sign. I liked how someone here on BYC had said they're more like freckles, everyone is unique like a snowflake and just has different markings. 😉
