Hmm, this is harder than i thought it would be... since both the males and females have a sizeable comb, and females can have early color..

Originally i thought #1 would be male, but there are no wattles showing...

#2 has a comb, but it's straight, not rounded... which makes me think female. but those tail feathers...

#3 looks so similar to #2.. im guessing they are going to end up the same sex... but which..??

This tells me i will have no clue guessing mine

Gorgeous! That second to last picture had me cracking up. I agree that #1 is definitely male, but #2 and #3 are probably female.

Omg im totally going to be following your thread!! Mine are only 3 weeks now! I thought by 5-6 I'd definitely know. I also have a frizzle, so feathers don't help. And a self-blue, which are slow developing crazy making chickens!!
