Give it a week or so to be sure with both black and whites. I take these were straight run? It's usually 50-50, unless you can't have roos, then it's something like 70% roos!

Yes...straight run. :-( technically I can't have roos...but I'm a rule breaker. Lol. I have three that are way more white and their combs are huge already...that's why I figured these are hens.

So far, so good! The pattern is partridge-ish and the comb is still yellow. Keeping fingers crossed for you!

Not that I can see from the pic, but helps to know the age and maybe a pic with a little clearer lighting.
