Hen or cockerel

Hello, I have 3 chicks what will be 3 weeks old Thursday, just wondering if they are all hens or are they to young to tell?
Thank you

I think it’s too early to tell for sure but for now I’d go with pullet since their combs aren’t that red.

Edit to add: Also your poll is not set up right. It only allows one vote.

Do you know the breed?

 

[katieshellybubbles]

I was told they are Buff Orphington
But not 100% sure, first time chicken owner.

Not buffs,their red sexlinks and all are hens.

 

[katieshellybubbles]

Ah perfect! Thank you very much.

 

[Roosters110]

Just some insight on them.Red sexlinks are chicks that can be sexed right after hatching.Males are all yellow while females have brown somewhere on their body,usually backs or wings.

 

[Roosters110]

That is why I could tell them instantly

None have large/red combs so in my view probably all pullets but it’s still quite early to be certain
