These chicks are 8 weeks old and I was pretty sure they were both boys, but their combs aren’t as red now and no wattles yet so just curious what everyone on here thought.

Oh great! I was hoping they would be but thought early on they were roosters. I had homes for them but if they’re pullets I can keep them! My flock is so varied, 9 different breeds so I wasn’t sure
 
I think pullets as well. My female RIR that ended up being a male had a much larger comb at this age.
