Help sexing pea combs

[JTC]

you should be able to find plenty of roo options since many people do not want roos

Lol yeah, Easter Eggers people want to pass off as Ameraucana. I guess I’ll just have to use my Marans roo and make olive Eggers . Thanks!

#1 is a definitely a cockerel
The other two do look like they could possibly also end up cockerels, especially #3

at 12 weeks they should have combs like this if they are cockerels(not my photo)

Agree with @happychicken2435 , by 12 weeks a cockerel's comb would be like the one below:

This is my Easter Egger/Rhode Island Red mix roo hatched this year at about 12 weeks. He has a pea comb and cheek puffs.

These are some of mine at 12 weeks, Australian Araucana cockerel and pullet. all the pea comb cockerels I hatch and raise look like #1 and #2 at this age

It’s the pea combs that get me. All the other breeds I have I was pretty sure early on what they were and was correct. But all the others I had from 3 days old and could watch every step.

Pea combs are tough! You are right, being able to see them progress each day makes it easier. Just looking at a few photos online makes it tough!

I’ve read the “how to” try to sex pea combs, but just don’t have much luck with it. I am trying to figure out what these three Ameraucanas are. My best guess is the blue with the bright comb is cockerel, and the black pullet. And the other blue is a toss up to me. Any guesses on these three?
From what I was told they should be 11-12 weeks old. Sorry for the cruddy pictures they are still in “quarantine” and are flighty little things. I really don’t think they were handled at all.
