Beginner Needs Help! I was told its a girl but is it??

Help! They are just 3 weeks but growing so fast! I was told that when I got them they are girls but now...I'm not so sure x-x...What do you think? They grey one is the one I am curious about. Thanks for your help! I'll also add a pic of when I first got them too.

Where did you get them? Many times at 3 weeks cockerels don't stand out, but sometimes a little color starts to show on the boys. It is tough in a picture and without others of the same breed, but I would guess you have a couple boys.

I got them from someone who owns over 17 chickens where I'm from. If they are all boys I'm about ready to give up having chickens

I'm gonna say all cockerels, they've got the combs going on already. It's not for sure, but if they were mine that's what I'd be thinking.

I really wish you would not quit. You'll likely have much better luck sourcing your chicks from a good hatchery. Order pullets from a breed such as Barred Rock or Dominique, or Black or Red Sex Links, that can be sexed at hatch. Sapphire Gems are another option and I'm sure there are more.

I was extremely shocked to see that at 3 weeks their combs are all out (well idk about the black one that one stopped growing and practically has no comb...I think somethings wrong with that one and it's at week 6)

A picture of the black one's comb would be good. Maybe that one is a pullet?

Hows this?

That's good. I don't know what she is (breed) and I'm no expert, but that one looks like a pullet to me. So you can't quit, lol!
