Yes, as well as how raised the comb is. Middle row should be more raised then the two side rows for pullets, and with boys, the comb will be raised pretty early in comparison.

question for sexing araucanas: is the easiest way to sex them by the comb, and if so can somebody show me the difference between a cock and pullets comb at 8 weeks?
