Comb sexing 3 lavender Ameraucana?

Agree with the others....#2 = cockerel, and the other two = pullet. You're so blessed to own such beauties!

The other two are pullets most likely. Although I did have two cockerels who matured later and had combs like #1 and #3. Then you take into account the rest of the bird, size, legs, etc. Photos of the rest of them would help.

That's what I've been assuming would happen, they'd be late developing boys. But my fingers are crossed for one boy and two girls. I at least need a boy for the group and a blue gene mixed with olive and dark browns would be awesome if I ever want more for the farm

ETA: I can try to get full body photos if I can today or tomorrow.

If that's the age of Lav's we are discussing... then there is a GOOD chance they are female.

Yes this is for this group...I'm hoping you're right!

Thank you! Right now they are a bit pitiful looking body-wise but I can't wait to see how they develop!

Here’s the photos.

The two with the long tall tails are #1 and #3.

The short tailed one is #2 the suspected cockerel.

While I’m at it, does anyone have any other treatment remedies besides neosporin and bluekote for these three? Should I separate them from the others? If so how long? I want them to heal as quickly as possible.
