I know they are young just about 4 weeks but the guessing game is fun so do t come at me! the two with the combs have not changed in two weeks and the one with the slightly pink color in the sides of the hasn’t changed much as well. All had tail feathers fast, and are wild little chickies i love them all the same!

I have:

Silver Laced Wyandotte
Black Copper Marans
Polish
Speckled Sussex

They're so cute! Since you are aware that they are too young to accurately sex, I'll go ahead and play. I'll guess your marans is a possible cockerel- just judging by leg size.
good sportsmanship! haha

thats my hunch as well and the slightly pink on the comb but that has changed much in the last two weeks though ive read that it can happen unless it turned bright red soon so its fun to watch them grow!
 
Hard to tell yet but there are some useful tricks that might work.

Theres also a way if you hold then but off the ground without holding their legs I think the hens will curl in their legs but the roos will keep there legs straight I'll have to fact-check that.

the wing trick is when they are just hatched or within two days i believe and not accurate with all breeds. but thank you!

I have some week old chicks myself including Blue Copper Marans. Love watching them grow especially now that I have more experience.
