So, I've heard that you can tell the gender of millies fairly early though I don't know exactly how early that is. These guys are about 3.5 weeks old. Chick 1 I'm pretty sure is a cockerel (he also has a bit of sneezing and watery eye going on but he's under vet care and on meds). Chick 2 I think might also be a cockerel and Chick 3 I'm thinking is my only pullet. I have another chick that's a week younger than these guys but I think that's much too young though I could post their pictures as well.

I'm new to this breed so what signs should I be looking for and am I on the right path with my guesses?

I can’t say for certain, since this is my first time with the breed as well, but I will show you what my d’uccles comb looks like at 6 weeks old. I’m fairly certain she’s a pullet. So I would also guess you have two potential cockerels.

Oh, she's pretty! And thank you, that definitely helps!
