4 weeks old today! They are developong their own personalities and I’m guessing there are more roos than hens. 5-7 are BYM. And yes, I know they are still really young to get an accurate gender.

Two EE that I’m guessing both are male.
Chick 1, an absolute turd to the others.

Two frizzles that I believe are fathered by a frizzle EE.
Chick 3. Tiny legs/feet, smallest chick. Pullet?

Chick 4, largest chick, has a bit of an attitude. Cockerel?

Chick 5, best behaved and I’m hopeful it is a pullet. Does not argue with the others.

And chick 7, my device died before I got to this one. This one has me stumped.

Updated 8 week old photos of some. Chicks 1 and 2 are definitely boys. The yellow and red one is currently the nicest while the blue one is a bit rough with the pecking.

Chick 4 is the biggest one so far, he and the frizzle female are the most timid.

Chick 7, probably a roo but the comb and waddles are a bit more pale than the other boys’. Has interesting patches of color coming in on its back.

They all went into the coop before I could get decent photos of the others.
 
I think that all of them are females .all that you showed recently
If that ends up being the case I’d be stoked but for 8 week old chicks I don’t think combs and waddles would be that red if they were females. Plus the yellow EE with the red shoulders patches which I thought indicated male. I’ll have to grab photos of the two for-sure girls, their combs are still yellow/tan and tiny.
