Thought I had 4 boys but now, I'm not so sure

I have 4 Cochin mixes. 2 of them are 2 weeks older than the other 2. Because they have grown big red combs and wattles, I thought my luck was bad and ended up with 4 out of 4 being boys but know when I look at them side by side, the tail feathers have different posture. I only have one that has upright tail feathers. Any thoughts?

How old are the birds?

can you post larger pics or make them enlarge when clicked on? I honestly can't see a thing in those pics except white fluffy birds.

the two older ones are around 7 weeks and the other two are around 5 weeks. I will try to post better pics. Gotta go out and get them to hold still first. lol

The one sitting on the ramp support is the one that has tail feathers that stick straight up.

Thank you!

At that young age, those red combs are all males, every one.

Poo! I thought so to but then I noticed the posture on the one was so different. I guess I got my hopes up for nothing.
