A trio in question at 10 weeks : OE, EE, Buff Orp

[onlyfeathers]

Below are photos to try and have a clear look at all 3. They are part of a group of 17 that we got from Cackle Hatchery in mid April of this year.

The first two that we are questioning gender of are noticeably bigger than all of the others and have been starting to crow in the mornings. The third is a smaller chick but often postures upward/chest out, has challenged some of the older hens and the rest of the chicks in the flock, and has quite a few iridescent feathers that are looking more rounded in shape. It's comb has started to get more red and now the 3rd largest in developed size, and is the only one that has a more "3 pea" appearance. All of the other chicks have a less intense pinkish single comb developing.

All 3 look like cockerels to me.

At 10 weeks, all 3 are boys, Olive Egger, Buff Orpington and Easter Egger.

Thank y'all for your input-- the 3rd suspected chick crowed today, so that sort of put a bow on things. Time for some name changes
