Hi everyone. I've read that with sebrights you can tell gender by the comb. But I have 3 doing 3 different things...

The first one is flat black on top, girl right?

The one in the 2nd picture showed this comb beginning of week 2, so I figured a boy...

Then from middle of week 2 on, the one in picture 3 started showing a different kind of forehead from the other 2, it's thicker and red and black. So now I'm lost, what do you think the 3 are? Thanks for looking!

Sebright males are "henny feathered," so they don't have clues like saddle or hackle feathers. Three weeks is really too young to sex them. Please put up new photos when they are 6-8 weeks of age. Thank you.

PS very difficult to judge anything with the red lighting. They shouldn't need the lamp by 6-8 weeks of age.
 
X2. What you probably read is that the comb is one of the only ways to sex sebrights, besides egg laying and crowing. As Drumstick Diva said, the are hen feathered, meaning that makes and females have the same feathers. Try again when they are six to eight weeks.
