Is it too soon to tell what gender and colour these little guys will turn out?

Ok I am new to this and learning(genetics)....so I am gonna take a shot at it...and see if I am close. So I am not confident but guessing for a learning experience for myself!!!!! :D :D wait for the others.

I am going with yb hen, and hard to tell from darkness but if those arent normals...the darker ones could maybe be dilute males????

I will take a guess and say that the one in the front will be a RH PB YB hen, two RH PB GB cocks, and one RH PB SFY cock.

No guesses from those pictures but the one in the front looks awful puffed, is it just the picture or is it always that puffed up?

It's alright, I guess it was just fluffing up a bit for the night.

That's good! At first glance it looks sick but I was hoping it was just the picture.
Best of luck
