Hey all! I am new here. We recently acquired some chicks they are about 4 weeks old now. Can I have any help identifying the white one?

If it came from Tractor Supply, I think it is probably an Easter Egger. That is the most common kind of chick that would have those traits, among the ones they sell.Tractor supply and they did not write it correctly on the box so I have been puzzled.
Oh dear. I think you have at least one male in that group, and possibly more.I was told they were all females but I had doubts. It’s very sweet and is the same age as the others but the wings are much longer.
Thanks so much for all your help! They said the white one was not an Easter Egger I had wanted some but they said they are out. But, deep down I think they were pretty lax and mixed up the signs on a bunch lol. I’ll post more development pics next week and maybe you can tell me what you think? They are sweet little things. More like pets. Except the two black ones are little turds and are bitey already.If it came from Tractor Supply, I think it is probably an Easter Egger.

In the middle photo, the chick furthest from the camera has a rose comb, and that comb is red enough I'm pretty sure the chick is male. (Third photo, farthest right, looks like the same chick: red rose comb.)
Again in the middle photo, the chick on the left, halfway between front and back, has a comb that is somewhat big and a bit bright in color (although not as red as the other one.) I suspect this chick may be male, but I can't be sure at this age. If it is male, that will probably become very obvious in the next few weeks.
And I already mentioned being doubtful about the white one.
I don't have any specific thoughts about the brown one.
By the time they are about 6 weeks old, the males vs. females will probably be pretty obvious, and possibly earlier than that (different chicks develop at different rates.)
I can certainly give another opinion when it grows some more, and other people may also chime in with opinions.Thanks so much for all your help!
