My broody hatched 3 chicks on the 2nd of July, so they’re about a month and a half now. I’m almost positive that one’s a hen and one’s a roo, but the 3rd one is confusing me a little. Help please??

Here’s the first two, which their gender is pretty obvious..

But here’s the other one. (Pics are about a week apart)

As you can see, about a week ago his/her comb was still yellow, but now it’s getting reddish. It’s not nearly as big as the other little roo’s comb, but it’s still confusing me.



*** I’m open to name suggestions :D thanks!
 
BIG FAT UPDATE!!

Hi all! Thought I’d come back back with an update (for anyone who might be browsing BYC looking for comparison pics to help sex their own chicks)

You guys were right!! Smitty turned out to be a slow developing roo. He’s soo beautiful, and so is his brother Rafe. The little buff, Hazel, was a hen, as predicted.

So here’s the ‘after’ pics!!


Rafe and Hazel

Hope this’ll help someone in the future, and thank you to everyone that helped me :hugs
