That pink/red on comb is a dead give away isn't it? Leghorns have huge combs and I think the hens get wattles a little earlier than other breeds too. Your dead on going by red larger comb being the cockerels.

Where did you get lavendar leghorns?

Leghorn pullets have little to no comb until they get of laying age, looks like you got all boys with one being the dominant one(reddest comb) if they all got combs like that.
I have black leghorns that are about the same age if not older then yours and hens are pale with tiny combs and no wattles.

I think it's pretty safe to say that the first one is a boy.

What pretty birds.

I am agreeing with your assessment. I think pic one is a boy and the ones that look like pic 2 are girls. What gorgeous birds! I love, love, love leghorns and had NO CLUE they come in lavender!

do you have anymore pics or just the one,i have noticed the hens get big combs quick also but tend to have smaller legs.
