I feel like all three are boys with those feathers at the base of the tale drooping over and the really red combs at 11 weeks. But maybe someone else with give some more input.

Black Copper hens only get red/gold on the head, neck, and chest. The shoulder patches are male specific, and all three have them.

Great news!!! I asked a few weeks ago and was told rooster, glad I didn't get rid of her. Her tail is so much bigger than my other girls.

Honestly, I want to say all pullets. Wait a few more weeks and see.
A little early to know for sure, but does look a little suspicious

I finally managed to lure Lily into allowing me to get a good photo (used mash so please ignore the mucky beak). Lily is a little over 6 weeks old and was sold to me as an Araucana but earlier in this thread I was told Lily is actually an EE.

Can anyone tell the gender? Across the nose is quite red (as can be seen in the 2nd photograph) and is flat but rough looking (textured).

Thanks so much for having a look

@Mallory Xavier I think that is too much comb color for a pullet at 6 weeks. I know the flat combs are harder to judge sizewise but the top especially looks like it's turning red.

Yeah, and it looks like there might be some red coming in on the wings.

Wow, what a helpful thread. Here are our 7 week olds. We have 8 of them - numbers 1 and 4 are crowing, so we're pretty sure about them.

This is a "Heinz 57" flock hatched from my neighbors' chickens and they have Black Copper Marans, Welsummers, Araucanas, and Ameraucanas and mixes who lay beautiful eggs - chocolate brown, blue, green, with an occasional olive egger in there.

So, experts - what's your best thinking on roos and pullets at this point? Thank you!
