8 weeks old reddening combs and wattles, still pullets?

I’m particularly concerned with the buff Orpington in the front. Their brother is a boy, so I’m super paranoid. Am I in the clear?

This Easter egger has such a darker pink comb than the Orpingtons, but feather pattern is a pullet pattern.

All my chicks have gotten nicer in the last couple weeks. A few weeks ago, she was being super demanding and dramatic.

my slw are starting to color a little at 10 weeks, and one of my BO is a little pink also. I am 95% they are pullets. Very similar to yours. Your EE looks a lot like my slw in the neck and feather area. Pullet is my vote.

I have wondered if that’s part of her mixed heritage. I think she’s gorgeous.
