Well that would be devastating.. they're all around the same age give or take a week. Why do you think they're all boys when just the 2 have the large red combs?

how old are they @amberrenee

 

[amberrenee]

2 months. Sissy is a little younger. Clucker is a little older.

Kewpie seems to be sprouting wattles and is getting red in the face. Sprinkles is the only one that looks like pullet to me but I'm no pro.

Do hens not have wattles usually?

I have two 3 month old chicken that are from a farm that had a Cream Legbar mother and black orpington rooster. I am afraid they are both roosters. The lighter colored one with the cushion comb just crowed this morning. It may be just time for the other one to do the same. Yikes, can't have that in my subdivision. Can you help? First pic is the lighter one with yellow legs. 2nd is the slightly darker one and last pic are both together. Thanks!

Lots of hens have wattles. It's the age they start showing up. Pullets won't get alot of color or wattles until later on. Roosters usually start showing red and wattles much earlier. At 8 weeks they all are looking like roosters except for sprinkles but the other one could just be an early bloomer too.

Pretty sure I know the answer to this one, but the person I got it from claims it could still be a hen and wants me to wait a little longer before they'll swap it for me...so whaddya think?

2 month old Leghorn

That's a red sexlink cockerel. Not a Leghorn at all.
