This is a good picture to demonstrate the comb difference. The two light ones with red combs are male. The three reddish ones are female. All the males are likely to have reddened combs by now while females will have pale or light pink combs. You cannot go by size of the comb because Leghorns get big combs for both genders but the dark color is a sign of early development of the comb. Also, your males will tend to show a dark red, like dried blood, in a patch on the wing bow. Females may have red too but it tends to be all over rather than concentrated in a splotch.

So how have you been going with your chickens? My chickens look exactly like yours and I have been trying to find out their gender/sex for weeks.
