Girls or Boys? Wheaten/Blue Wheaten Ameraucanas, 4 weeks old

[huf]

Any opinions on gender? 2 Wheaten/Blue Wheaten Ameraucanas hatched 3/9, making them 4 weeks old today. They both seem pretty similar, with small combs developing, still yellow. I have a feeling they may both be girls. Also curious, can you tell by their feathers which will be blue and which will be just wheaten? One has dark (almost black) on her feathers, the other is almost all wheat and pale.

Thanks so much! I’ll cross post to the Ameraucanas thread too. And you’ll see a similar post from me for our other breeds.

In Silicon Valley with 8 chicks! 2 Wheaten/Blue Wheaten Ameraucanas, 2 Mottled Javas, 2 Blue Birchen Marans, 1 Barred Plymouth Rock and 1 Easter Egger. We can only keep hens and are trying to figure out which of the bunch are girls so we know who we have to re-home, only able to keep a max of 5 hens.
