Hoping these NN are girls?

I find that even NN pullets can have significant combage at a young age. Compared to the obvious cockerel on the left, do you think these 2 *might* be pullets, or late bloomers? Thank you! Apparently my NN roo (whose dad is a FBC marans) was EXTREMELY successful with the ladies this spring. I have some crazy NN babies - many with crests!!

How old?

 

[Frazzemrat1]

Agreed... age please

 

[MontanaChickDoc]

Sorry, dang you'd think I'd know the routine by now They are about 6-7 weeks old

eeeeeeh cockerels.

 

[MontanaChickDoc]

I can believe it about orange and black fellow - but the blue one? S(he) has no wattles at all...

It was also about 96 degrees when I took the photo so I think there is some extra pinkness in the combs...or maybe wishful thinking

Besides the color, the combs are HUGE for 6-7 week old pullets. Too big, actually.

I too think they are all boys with combs that size, but I haven't own the breed.
