I raise lavender orpingtons. 3-4weeks is too early to be very accurate, but by 8 weeks, we can usually tell. It is true the thicker legs is a good indication of cockerel, but not always. Pullets tend to feather in just slightly faster, but once again, not the most reliable factor. Comb growth and color are the best way until saddle feathers come in. Post some more pictures in about 4-5 weeks.
