Is it easier to tell the gender now?

So the chicks in my classroom are about 2-3 weeks now. They are heading home with one of my teachers since they are getting to big for the brooder and she has a chicken coop at her house. Since this is the last time we will get to see them in person and not on a camera, I wondered if there was anything that helped guess the gender? We only have about 3 weeks left of school. Latte (the chick) has more developed wings, has a more visible come, and more developed tail feathers then the other chicks. Latte is also much taller then everyone else.

What breed or mix are they?

2-3 weeks is still to young. 6 weeks is about he youngest, 8 weeks is better yet.

I’m not sure. They were marked as eggs but we didn’t pay attention to what egg they come from so we don’t know what breed they are.

"Classroom" chicks are almost always crossbreds.

Kind of getting a cockerel vibe off the standing one in the first photo, but Gray Farms is right, they are too young to tell.
