Pullets?

[JedJackson]

The combs are large for that age, but still pale. I think they are probably pullets, but keep an eye on them and post again if needed.

They're mixed with leghorns so I'm not sure if that may be why they're bigger?

Maybe, or maybe hybrid vigor, since they are hatchery mixes. There could be a lot of reasons for them having larger combs that don't necessarily mean they are males.

True. I'm also thinking that with them being the same breed and having similar comb sizes, then it may be a breed thing. I mean,yes,it's possible they're both males, but what odds would it be that the exact 2 that are the same breed end up being the only males,you know

Yeah, I agree. If they were sold as sexed pullets then that's most likely what they are.

Ok,it's been a while. My mother in law passed away so things have been hectic. Here's these 2 at now 9 weeks. Pretty sure girls. The first one has red coming in around its mouth but the comb is still pretty small so still iffy on that one.

Sorry about the loss of your mother-in-law.

Both these birds look female to me.
