Hen or Roo

At 12 wks I would say all three are cockerels...

I disagree, look at chick number 2. Very hen like.

I know, but that is very young to have a comb that developed. I’m sticking with cockerel... my pullets don’t look like that until their at least 6 months old. Are they English orps? They are usually slower maturing.

Not really, it can and does happen quite often. Time will tell.

Agreed. All three are male. Too much comb for a pullet of that breed and age.

Every now and then you get a comb but rarely wattles. I vote three boys!

Ok, yes there are actually 7 chickens in there, but we figured 5 guys 2 dolls...hmmmm. The pen extension..it’s made..just sitting, waiting, waiting until the right time to integrate them..I had the big chickens out yesterday and they nipped the little chickens..I know that is going to happen for awhile..but I just want them to be old enough and for it not to change those great personalities
