Are my barneys all boys???

They look like girls to me.

I do see some big SOME big combs but looking at the feather pattern makes me think pullet.

I just don't think you should jump to conclusions yet. I'd let them grow out a little more to be sure.

Well! I'd like to delete my post but I won't. A lesson in not reading til the end. That sucks that they're all fellows. Sorry!

At that stage (like in the pics), I was really holding out all hope... but they declared themselves at about 12 weeks with their feathering.
This is how two of them look like now. And of course, 2 out of 3 are crowing.

I only caponised one of them. I’ve decided whose genes I want passed on cos he’s got the handsomest colours. The runt of the 3 was getting a little obnoxious so I caponised him. The middle child so far is not giving any problems so I’ll hold off the procedure and see how they get along.

I posted my capon story on another thread:
