Hi! We just got our first set of chicks this week and I'm curious to see if anyone has any gender guesses on our three straight run Gold Laced Cochins. We also got three Australorp pullets and two Dark Brahma pullets that I'm going to assume are actually ladies even though the farm store only quotes 80% accuracy.

One of the Cochins has dramatically more wing feather growth than the other two. Does this indicate one pullet/two Roos or too early to tell? I realize that this picture is useless but they're so cute I posted anyway. :)

Well they're now three weeks old (I know still too early to tell but that won't keep me from guessing!). Of the three, I originally thought only one was a pullet due to its more pronounced feather growth. Now, the "she" has the most pronounced comb of the bunch so my current hunch is that "she" is the only roo! Tell me what you think:
