These guys are just about 4 weeks old but the two light colored ones have very prominent combs and I'm beginning to see red underneath one's beak(#2) (waddle?) Any thoughts on the gender of these guys? Thanks for the input!
#1


#2

#3



#4

 
#1, #2, and #4 are looking like cockerels (though #4 might be a pullet). #3 looks like a pullet.

What makes you think maybe cockerel for #4? Just so I know what to look for. Our mailman thought it might be a boy too. It's the oldest chick of the 4 by a few days. I really hope it's not because we are especially attached to that chick.

It has a rather large comb for its age (though, the comb isn't red yet).
 
At what age can you be sure of the sex? I know some pullets have combs and are red but at what point are you able to really tell? When they crow or lay an egg?
