I need to be reminded that it's too early to tell

My sweetest baby is an Easter Egger. I know they are notoriously difficult to sex. Our chicks are 4.5 weeks old. I KNOW that is too early to tell. But I'm so worried she's going to turn out to be a rooster, and we can't have roosters here.

Tonight I'm looking at their tail feathers, and I can't shake the feeling that these miiiiiiight be a little iridescent? And the tips miiiiiiight be starting to curve down? Someone please remind me that it's too early and I'm being crazy 😥

To this point, nothing else about this one has indicated a roo - pale yellow non-comb at this stage, legs are the same size as are sex-link chicks, etc. But I just really don't want to have to get rid of (hopefully) her, she's so incredibly sweet!
