I have three chicks who are 4 weeks old yesterday. Two EE chicks and one Barred Rock chick. If you can tell any genders yet please let me know. I think my Sula may be a Sam...

Pinkish in comb and slower feathering then Munk who is same breed, and age. I tried to get as many decent pictures as possible heh.

Munk is the darker more feathered of the two Easter Egger chicks, Sula is lighter and less feathered. The Barred Rock is Joon. I am hoping for all three girls, but let me know.

Still to young to be certain, but one boy and one girl on the EEs. The BR does not look like the BRs that I have see the leg color is all wrong, but gender I have no clue.
 
Your EEs are looking pretty much like mine did--and it was unanimous that the grayish one was a boy (at 7 weeks the differences became pretty obvious). The girly one has very minimal comb, you can hardly tell it's there still. While the boyish one has a thick, obvious comb. Between 6 and 7 weeks it seemed like he all of a sudden got all the boy characteristics--coloring, pointy feathers, stood more upright, the comb). But both EEs are the more outgoing obnoxious ones so that's not a gender difference.
And other people have posted that they were certain they had an EE roo on their hands and then got an egg, so they don't always make it obvious for us.

Looking at the pictures again, mine had the same difference in tail shape that I see in yours, in fact it was the first thing that made me come to this board an ask for opinions (which were 50:50 at 5.5 weeks, all boy at 7). The roo had the long pointy tail.
 
Sula is looking rooish to me.

I see the pink and it is think. At four weeks too, Yep I am going with Roo.

Let us know in a few weeks what they are looking like
In the meantime, watch Sula and start thinking of boy names

"Munk" is a pullet (young hen)
"Sula" is a cockerel (young rooster
"Joon" looks to be a pullet (young hen)
