Lol, me too of course. I'm kind of thinking I'll get my answer with either crows or eggs.

Seriously though... is there no way to sex these things?

I have no idea how, I have tried myself and failed. I do love them though and would like some but would want to know exactly what I am getting. Hopefully someone can help

It's fairly easy to sex them. You need to wait longer, those combs and boy feathers haven't come in yet. I think it's too early but from pics I think the second one screams cockerel. The buffs and the last white one look kinda boyish as well.
