Peachick-Peacock-Peahen Gender Determination Age

[CluckNDoodle]

At what age can you positively determine gender of peachicks?
I hatched 3 peachicks earlier this year for my friend's homestead and I love that she has a YouTube channel documenting their development but I'm wondering if anyone might know what sex they are?

It's a long video but she zooms in on them toward the end.

I think the two colored ones are female.

Thanks! The white one is the smallest, does size have any bearing on gender?

It might. The majority of my smaller ones end up female, but every now and then I get a runt male.

Ok! Thank you for taking the time to look for me and sharing your knowledge!
This was my first time hatching peachicks so I'm just happy I get to watch them grow but fingers are crossed for one male, we'll see!

You're welcome! I hope your white one is male too, and thanks for the video, your peas are beautiful!

I just thought I would pop in and share some updated photos from my friend. Looks almost definitely like the two colored ones are female. Any chance the white still could be a male? At what age can you usually tell?

They look female to me.

 

[casportpony]

Oh, and they are beautiful!

Thank you again @casportpony !! It figures that I want to hatch a male and they're all female. I'm never that lucky with chickens!
