I'm completely new to having chickens! I got three chicks from a local farm. The lady told me they were all white leghorns and all hens. They are about three in a half weeks old and I'm begining to think one is a rooster and two are not leghorns. what do you guys think?

Here is the one I think is a rooster. The comb is slightly bigger and more red than the other two

Here is a picture of all three of them

Any idea what these two might be?

Breeds are probably mixed. And I think you have 2 males. The chick in the first pic is definitely male and the chick in the last pic looks like it could be a male. I think the red shouldered chick is your only female

Agree the first bird is a cockerel. The bird with red could easily be a red sex link female, or simply another mixed breed. The last bird is a common coloring when a white Leghorn is mixed with a darker bird, it gives that white bird with black flecks a lot. It's not screaming cockerel to me at this point, but it's early days yet.

Agreed.

I agree, too.
