I got three Snowy EE girls from My Pet Chicken nearly 6 weeks ago. Supposed to be pullets- we have a suspected boy. I’m going to post all three for comparison.
comb type: Peacomb
Breed: Snowy EE
Age: 5 weeks, 4 days

Chick 1 - Bitty

Fluffy’s much bigger than the other two, with larger feet, a LOT more comb growth, and comb redness. The other two have one row of their pea comb, Fluffy has three rows (I believe that is another sign of cockerel?).

Thoughts?

I don’t see any that are red enough for a cockerel. Fleshy peach or pink usually still means Hen.

Here is my 5 1/2 week cockerel. See the difference in comb/waffle coloring ?
