Thanks in advance! I know my babies are probably too young to be certain about sex. But here I am, asking anyway. About 4 week old Easter eggers. Straight run from tractor supply. Certain the light one is a male because his comb is getting pink. The other 2 look so similar I can barely tell them apart. Seems like most EE of this color are female but that could be wishful thinking. Just asking for ideas on the two dark ones and confirmation on the light one.

Okay, 2 week update. Chicks are now 6 weeks old. They're sooo hard to get pics of but hopefully these are good enough. I can now tell the orangey colored EEs apart somewhat by their beards. One has black feathers in the beard and one is pretty much all white. Let me know what you think and thanks in advance!

Light one is male, the others look like pullets to me. Mine are the same age as yours and I also got mine from TSC. I know it's tricky with these guys cause you can't go by just shape of the comb. If you see what looks like 3 rows of bumps in the comb that's a clue that it's male, but the color is also important. Check for pointed hackle feathers also, girls will have rounded hackle feathers.
