Gold Lace Wyandotte Chicks Question

I've got 4 chicks, about 4-5ish weeks old and one is starting to get bigger and more colorful than the others. The others are dull and not as vibrant. Are there any telltale signs for noticing the sex on Wyandottes? (coloration, pattern, etc)
 
The chick in question is much larger than the others (left as shown) and has more coloration than the others. The others barely have any gold, while this one has quite a bit.

The last picture when eating, it's noticeably larger toward the top.

Are there any things to start watching for on how to tell them apart in the coming weeks?

The larger one still has a small, pale comb, and that is the main thing to look at. They can grow at different rates. These are just too young to know but by 7 or 8 weeks it should be more clear.
