I also got a roo in my "guaranteed" pullets this spring.

roos x 2

I don't go by the comb....I go by the shape of the feathering. I have had some females with big combs/waddles...depending on their parents.

I would wait it out a bit before giving them away. BO are tricky birds to sex. Watch for things like them fighting, or starting to "honk" then turning into crowing.

Best of luck to you.

Day old chicks aren't a guarantee of sex either. I have two roosters that were sold to me as pullets at a day old. The hatcheries say they are 90% accurate, my accuracy rate is 1 roo per 8 chicks.

Both look like boys to me, sorry.
But like the previous poster said, buying from hatchery does not mean you'll get all pullets. in my last 12 I got from the hatchery, I had two males
