10wk old lavender Araucana are they boys or girls? Please help

I think they are both boys both their combs look very large and very red for that age females would still be very pale. But then again heat can sometimes make them flushed too but I do not think that is the case here as they are also very wide combs.

This is Molly
Max and Molly look so similar but molly has a pinker face same elvis style hair do but haha
Do you think molly might be a girl or do I have 3 boys?

This one is a girl I’m pretty sure. You can see she still has the pale comb and it’s smaller and not as wide too. The other two are boys I’m pretty sure.

Thank you it's what I was thinking too. Is it normal for the feathers on their faces to be so different?

No problem! And do you mean the feathers sticking out from the sides of their faces? Or do you mean them all being different from each other? The feathers on the faces are totally normal as this breed is a tufted breed. Although that said not every bird will wind up with tufts so it’s perfectly normal for them to not have them too or to have varying degrees of it. Every bird is an individual and will wind up with different traits even within the same breed. ❤

No problem! And is that one of the Wyandottes in the back of one of your other pictures? If so, I’m pretty sure that one is a boy too.

This. That was what I was trying to differenciate between. I couldn't tell if they were so red from heat or from being roosters.

With araucanas you get something called tufts. Not all have them because similair to frizzles you don't want to cross two frizzled birds. You don't want to cross two tufted birds because two tuft genes is fatal. But tufts are the weird feathers that stick off from the face.
