My three EEs are about four weeks old. I'm afraid I may have at least one rooster. Chestnut seems to be dominate and is the biggest (by at least an ounce compared to Cique). Its comb just started showing a few days ago. Chestnut likes to come over to me to be pet or held. Nutmeg is taking a LOT longer to feather out. She is just getting a few tiny tail feathers and is about 1.5-2 ounces (three days ago) lighter than Chestnut. She likes to hide under the others. Cique isn't as friendly and has the cheek tufts as does Chestnut but Nutmeg does not.

Chick #1 (Chestnut)





Chick #2 (Cacique aka Cique)


Nutmeg is in the front, Cique is in the back.


Chick #3 (Nutmeg)

I'm not seeing any major boy signs yet, check in again in a few more weeks. Even if you have all girls, someone's gotta be the boss!
 
Update: Chestnut ended up being a HUGE roo! 8 2/3 lbs at 14 months old! Cique and Nutmeg are small hens with Cique being the bossiest one! :)
