Ok so I have three... I have been searching your forums for weeks every time I notice something new in them
Two have the larger combs then one, and the same two have bigger feet too... I can’t tell about the tail feathers( or they all boys and I have no girl... I was hoping for the three egg layer girls... at least hoping two were girls.... I know it’s still early 4 weeks

Other than the smaller comb on the one... I was thinking the tail feathers were pointing more then rounded? Possible three boys even?

Do you think other then the small comb, the tail feathers look pointed more then rounded? Definitely smaller feet and legs then other two...
Tail feather shape has nothing to do with sex at this stage of growth.

Tail feathers growth rate can be used to sex chicks, Buff Orpingtons for example: Males don't grow a tail up until 12 weeks of age.
Females start growing their tail feathers in first around 2 weeks of age.

The chick with smaller comb is a girl.
