Cute chicks, marchick... I'm not even gonna guess though... mine did not play by the 1 or 3 rows rule... according to that I shoulda had all cockerels, and they all turned out pullets!

Actually my little hand breeder chick had a smooth comb looked like a girl the comb did. From day 1 the feet were larger too. So this chick was real beefy with a smaller comb & the other wasn't as masculine but had a much bigger comb. My females combs were more yellowish colored also.

My guess would have been the wider combs roosters!

I sure hope I get more hens then roosters!

Meet Penny. She's an Easter Egger, but she's had a three row comb since she hatched. I knew she was a pullet for sure, because she is also a black sexlink.

Pullets with a correct pea comb should have three rows, just like the boys.

Well! I am going to say they are all hens until they crow!!!! Maybe even after!

denial! Well some hens crow! If I have 34 crowing hens! I will start to worry!
