    Red comb

    Is it 100% guaranteed that a five week old chick with a red comb is definitely a male? Or is it possible that it can still grow into a hen?? I have three red combed easter Eggers. Their combs are not perfect so not a perfect three row pea comb so I’m hoping that they can still be girls. I’m...
