Male or female chick panic!

[annabobbob717]

Hello! So I have five chicks just a few days shy of three weeks old. It came to my attention that one of my Brown leghorn's comb is much larger than the other Brown leghorn's. While I understand Brown leghorn females have very large combs, should I be concerned or is this normr for the breed? I need help!

It is to early to say for sure, wait in a couple more weeks to post again for a more accurate guess.

I'll take a stab at it...the brown ones, one in back is a boy, brown one up front is a girl.

Could it be because of their breed? Brown leghorns have giant waddles

It's still too early to be sure. Males will feather in with black on the chest. Females will have rosey brown chests.

I'd wait a couple more weeks and show new pictures. Comb is one thing but turning RED is another.
