From what I can tell by these pics.......one roo

The males have a reddish brown breast, like in picture 3, while the females just have the patterning and blends in pretty much with rest of their feathers, at least on mine

I usually don't even bother to check mine until 6 weeks.

Weird, I would have thought #1 was the roo, is it a different species or something, she looks so different

#1 Is Tibetan Or British Range And Not Color Sexable
#2 Is A Hen
#3 Is A Roo
#4 Is A Hen

#1 is a Rosetta, you can't sex those by their markings. #2 looks like a hen. #3 looks like a male. #4 is a hen.

They are not 1 month old despite what you were told. They have entirely too much fuzz on their heads to be that old. I would say they are 2-3 weeks old tops.
