Wondering if anyone has information or experience on sexing 5 week old chicks by feather patterns/coloration?

Happy Easter!

As best I know, I have a couple straight run Americana or Easter Egger chicks, and I’m wondering if it’s possible to tell sex based on feather pattern/coloration at 5 weeks old. The first three pictures are of a more blue/gray colored chick with a comb that took on a pink color around 3 weeks of age and has gotten progressively darker. The second set of three pictures is of a chick I am hoping is a female. The comb is not nearly as pink as the chick in the first three pictures, however both chicks chest bump, fluff up neck feathers and exhibit roo behaviors. I do have other pullet chicks, however, and they exhibit the same roo like behaviors so I was looking for a couple other indicating features. Thank you for any insight.

Best,

Katie

Beautiful chicks! I have 3 week old EEs and have one I am keeping an eye on -- I am new to this so I won't try and guess about yours, though

Any update on what you have, hens or roos?

They both look like pullets. male EE's usually have a 3 row comb
