Boy or girl?

I’m pretty sure on of these babies tried to do a little baby rooster crow this morning. Maybe I’m crazy. 100% new to raising chicks. And I’m not sure if you can even truly tell this early. There are 4 New Hampshire reds and 2 black austrolorps. They are about 3ish weeks old.

he is sporting a comb but it is too early to tell for sure, Welcome to BYC!

Thank you! I figured it would be too early to tell but I’ve got my eye on him lol.

Yes a little too early.. Start watching around 6-8 weeks their comb and wattle will usually start turning really pink/red around that time!

My chicks are 7 weeks and only one has started learning to crow.

Three weeks is way too young to know anything yet.
Where did you get your chicks? Hatchery, feed store, local breeder?
If you bought straight run(unsexed), then there's likely cockerels in the mix. But if you chose pullets, then you have much less to worry about, even with a 10% margin of error.
Curious playful chicks make all sorts of noises. A cockerel usually won't be able to crow until 4-5 months, sometimes much longer. But it's possible, though uncommon, to start as early as 2 months. And pullets grow combs too! They just don't turn red until much later.
