I did the bad thing. I impulse bought 3 babies off of lsn. They were $5 each, ok? It's fine.
I initially just assumed they were all boys based on the combs alone. However, I am reading lots of threads that are making me second guess myself. Some folks are saying you can't go by the baby comb on leghorns because the girlies also have a good size comb. These hatched on New Years Eve.
I've never had bantams of any kind until now. And my leghorn rooster I got fully grown.

The white ones are bantam frizzle cochin × leghorn. The black one is bantam frizzle cochin × Rhode Island Red.
What do we think? All boys? I absolutely love their personality. They are all so friendly and curious. All booted. And the black one has the teeny cochin tail. Adorable.

They are adorably beautiful! ❤️

Like you, I think they are all boys because of the size of comb & colour and wattles.

Do you know how old are they?
Pekin from my flock is visible sign about 4 week of age..when compare with the pullet, the comb size and colour.

I am guessing they might be between 5 - 8 weeks old.

Just wait a bit longer to know for sure.

The Pekin might make baby crow if it is a rooster.

They hatched on New Years Eve. So, 6 weeks. :)
 
When my 2 Pekins were chicks I can tell their combs were smaller and the colour was pale, not light pink.

The one that standing next to the feeder might be a pullet...Leghorn have very big comb, so...you never know, some could be a pullets.
Awesome. Thanks!
