Early gender guesses? Also how old do you think they are?

I got 4 Easter Eggers from tractor supply on April 12 (11 days ago). I didn’t ask but I thought they would only be a few days old since the Easter eggers tend to sell quick. But these chicks look older than 2 or 3 weeks to me, maybe 4 weeks? What do you guys think? Also I would love gender guesses! I wanted all pullets but at least one is looking like a rooster to me. I labeled the pics with their names, Nugget looks boyish to me but what do y’all think? I know it’s way too early! (Also please ignore my kids messy room in background 😆)

They look about 2-3 weeks of age to me. My batch of chicks are currently 3 weeks and are a bit more feathered. Too soon to guess gender.
 
Thank you! I think I started wondering if Nugget was a boy because he (or she) always looks me square in the eye, and I heard that’s usually a rooster thing. Here’s a pic of that just for fun.

I have some snuggly babies that are five weeks old and they are pullets and they look me square in the eye like that, too!!! One, a Black Australorp named Poppy, makes me nervous because she sits on my shoulder and will do it and I don't want my eye to get pecked out 😂
 
Updated pictures. I think they’re about 7-8 weeks old now, not 100% sure. 1 is Sunny, 2 is Nugget, 3 Amelia, and 4 Paprika. What do y’all think?
