About 5 weeks ago I was gifted 3 Dominique “hens” to add to my flock. They are about the same age as my other chickens ( 13 weeks)
They don’t look like my other girls they look like roosters to me. Their wattles and combs aren’t red but their saddle / sickle feathers are a dead give away. I already have one rooster and I’ve been comparing the Dominique’s to my lavender rooster. Any pointers with the gender of these guys would be much appreciated. Here are the pictures of the Dominique’s

Not Dominique.. as they're crested, straight combed, white ear lobes.. maybe dom crosses, even then they shouldn't be straight combed.

Pullets, what I can see or make out in pics.

Gender specific saddle feathers can start to be seen around 12 weeks..
