Hello!
Just wondering if anyone has any guesses on gender on any of these chicks. They’re only 3 weeks so I know it’s still early, but I figured I’d ask anyways. They’re lakenvelder/cinnamon queens. Overall I’m thinking they’re all cockerels because of the red on the combs & the large single comb on the one.

I agree it is too early. Another two weeks might be enough, two more months may not be long enough. Some are a lot harder than others. When you repost, could you send a close-up of each head and let us know the age at the time. I'd be looking for size and color of the comb and wattles. Another photo showing the legs, posture, and profile could be helpful. These are all clues, but heavy legs are a sign of a boy. An upright posture as opposed to bent over indicates maybe a boy. And sometime profiles can be informative.
 
I think my verdict is all cockerels. Just wanted a second opinion. Is it still too early? I know most people say at least six weeks but they’re all showing male.

Unfortunately I agree with you, all boys. I see wattles in all of those and those wattles are pretty red. The legs are generally heavy and the only one without an upright posture in those photos is the last one. That's the only one I'd hold out any hope for but with those wattles I'd still go boy.
