Got these chicks from McMurray, was supposed to have 3 females and 12 males (it was an attempt at somewhat of a substitution for what I ordered that didn't hatch well). Out of the 15, only 3 survived (!) and here they are at 3 weeks and a few days old. One is noticeably much MUCH larger and more feathered out than the other two. Combs are not obviously different yet. These are being raised by one of my broodies, so they are next to impossible to photograph, they refuse to sit still!!! lol I know the pictures are crappy, but give me your best guess!! 
In the shot below, the monster chick is at the top, under her arm. The two smaller chicks are at the bottom of the picture. Camera focused on her instead of the chicks! :/ Honestly the combs look very similar, the only difference is that the monster chick's comb is more of a deeper/purplish color, they all look fairly red instead of yellowish. I'm totally new to these combs, so still learning...
Hard for me to believe that all 3 of these are the same age!!!! o_o
