#1-Cockerel, #2-Cockerel, #3 pullet, #4 pullet. The only one I'm pretty confident about is #2, Cockerel.

The 1st chick has no tail feathers, neither does the last one.
The middle 2 chicks Have tail feathers.

Just a hunch- #2 seems higher on the legs and he just looks like a guy! Nothing scientific, just a gut feeling. 50% chance of being wrong! Or right!

Number 3 girl for sure, number 1 boy, number 2 boy, number 4 not really sure but say girl.
Number 3 has a big poof which is forward facing, so I say girl. Number 1 and 2 have smaller crests and looks like more comb showing, number 4 not sure but it's poof seems more forward facing but it has big feet so ?. But it's all a guessing game, still fun to guess!

???? I am missing the logic.
Please explain ~

#1, #2 & #4 are from the Same parents.
( but #4 is a showgirl )

#2 & #3 have long tail feathers.
So "WHY" would they not be the Same sex?

Not a clue, but the difference in the tail feathers may have more to do with order in which the chicks hatched then with sex.
The feather growth is quite remarkable in the first few days.
