I bought 6 straight-run chicks about a month ago figuring SURELY I'd get 3-4 hens in the mix. They're now about 5-6 weeks old and I'm starting to think I may only have one girl. For sure, I have two roosters (big red combs already) but I'm on the fence with these 3:
Chick #1--
S(he) has a fairly small single point comb, but it's starting to turn pink.
Chick #2--
Small, but pink comb and wattles
Chick #3--
Small, but pink comb and wattles
Are they too young to tell by the point of the feathers yet?
Any predictions would be appreciated!

Hens go broody when you don’t want them to… and won’t go broody when you do.
