[citalk2much]

I am no pro but they all look like pullets to me. I would start a thread to get more answers

citalk2much (love your name BTW) thank you. I also did post in a different section and got the same answer you gave.

Gosh, I wish I could see what you see. I still don't understand. I swear I see hackle feathers in them and then the comb and wattle. They even strut.
But then one goes and sits down and clucks!! Of all the chickens, these are driving me nuts trying tell. But I believe you.

The combs are what I look at I am not good at the feather sexing. You should see the size of the combs on my hen. I will see if I can get a picture of her.

The Giant Blacks must be totally different from the Giant Blues then. My Blue Pullets all look like pullets. But these Blacks are just hard!

Here are two blue pullets (actually one is a splash)(is the dark blue a splash too? I see a few dark feathers in there)

Okay the person who I got mine from said they where blue/black again I don't know one was much lighter and looked blue. I gave two of the three to a friend who just had to have them lol.
