Yeah I totally see it it's kind of like the males beaks head upwards in the centre and the females turn slightly downwards. It's very slight. But now that I see it I'm going to see if it's true for these guys and my newest batch when they finally hatch.

Do you have any guesses on gender?

They are almost 4 weeks now. Check out the feather colouring. The lighter feather is the one you called male.

My teenagers <3 the one in the middle has started making a quacking sound but I thought I had two boys and a girl.. so he may just be confused.

That's definitely two boys and a girl. The quacking noises could just be his voice changing into rasping.

Ok then! new theory!
Instead of loookin at bill shape Look at the bill colours

Here you go. Looking right at you lol the two on the front have a bit of a darker tip on their beak as well.

@Bills vs Beaks, all mine eventually got dark beans. I look at chest feathers. Boys have dark brown females have buff.
