Thanks for playing another one of these games 😆
3 weeks old.
Brahma x Isa Brown.
All same size, no difference in legs.
I'm guessing
#1 Pullet
#2 and #3 Roo
Or do I have 3 little roos???

Chick #2 and #3 seem to have red leakage or is it too early too tell their final feather colouring?

I agree with @TesoroSena now, but another few weeks will be a better time to tell.
And feather sexing young chicks only works if their parents were selected to show that trait in their offspring. Otherwise, early feathering is not sex related.
In some breeds, three lines of bumps in the comb is masculine, but yours are mixes, so who knows? That's what I was seeing, although it may not matter with these chicks.

Thanks! I thought so not because of the comb but because of the head shape. The first has a round, up head, whereas the second and third have lower eyebrows and a more flat head, of which are more male traits.
I didn’t know that about feather sexing!
