Sexing Araucana Chicks

[NZHL]

Hi All
It might be a bit too early to try this, but keen on peoples opinion. These photos are taken just a couple of days off 5 weeks.
The black one is markedly different, so is this the only hen? Or are there variations in the breed. These were a mixed batch of eggs from a breeder, all eggs were the blue/green.

I've done my best with the photos, but they are shifty little creatures.
Thanks!

I think it is a little too early to know. Within a couple of weeks you should see growth and redness in the combs of the males. But I do think you are right that the black one will likely be a female.

Agreed. The patterns on the first 3 are quite cockerel-y.

Definitely too early to blow that whistle yet though. Update us in a few more weeks.

Third one looks like a possible cockerel. It is early for the others though. Like others have said, an update is needed.

I agree with all the above commenters.

Thanks everyone. I'll update in a couple of weeks!

My guesses:
#1 pullet
#2 cockerel
#3 cockerel
#4 pullet
And they look mixed. At the very least the 4th is.
