1 looks to be your only pullet currently.

Here is a 10 week update. The frizzle has really started developing. While the other 2 seem to have stayed the same. With the smooth white ones having 2 parents with large straight combs I’m wondering if they are females. My other 3 males are very much showing themselves already.




Dark Boy is same age

The frizzle is male, the other two look more pullet now.

@oldhenlikesdogs that is what i was thinking. Otherwise they are quite late blooming males.

Generally even late blooming roosters have bright red combs by 10 weeks, but you never know.
