Do you mind sharing with me how you know the two on the right are boys???
yes, combs turning red. Many of my Serama boys have shown red combs at 3 weeks. Of course, some don't show for 4-6 weeks, so you cannot be sure on those. But you can be sure of the ones that are turning red and brighter red with age.
And some days the comb may not be as red as on other days. But once you have seen the red comb, you can be sure it is a male.
Harder to be definite on the pullets. But usually I say pullet for sure when no red has developed in the comb by 7-8 wks. Once in awhile you will get a very late developing male but not often.
Not an exact science by any means but helpful.
This is another reason I really like Seramas. You know early what you got
I have only had one late developer - it was Amadeus. I went back and forth with him till he was about 8 weeks old. He just refused to get that red comb! lol
