Combs not very visible in pictures as they're a rose combed breed so hard to tell & at the moment they all look the same. Believe 3 is a pullet and 1 & 2 are roos, but wanted some input to be sure. Basing mainly off the neck feather shape and the fact that 3 feathered significantly earlier than the first two.

Feather shape won't be gender relevant until starting around 12 weeks in most cases. It's ALL comb and WATTLES right now. They usually show well by 8 weeks in boys.

Pattern can also make feather shape look pointed when it is not.
combs here for good measure.

I think either 3 females (hopefully) or else 3 males.

If you had a 1/2 or 2/1 split, I would expect to see differences in the combs by this age, but these all look very similar for size and redness.
