I have three pekin bantam frizzles that are around 7 weeks old
I bought them at 5 weeks and they all looked like pullets, but I’m questioning that now.. what do you all think?
I have pictures of the same breed at that age to compare but I’m still not convinced they’re all pullets
The sun is making the combs look redder than they are

The chicks are a little too young to be definite about in the first three pictures. I think the black one is going to be a pullet, but the other two are more difficult to tell. They have some comb development, but not a lot, and I'm not seeing wattle growth either. I think you will have to wait a while longer for those two.

Ok, with this breed they seem to get big and red by now but not all do
I do think the darker brown one is a roo but I still think hen for the other one
I’ll just keep my fingers crossed
