sexing pea and cushion combs?

[snywalker]

I can't tell what some of my chicks are. I am more familiar with single combs. They are 12 weeks old.

Chick #1 very small comb, but red

Chick #2

Chick #3 very wide comb area, but nor red and doesn't really stand up

Chicks #4 & #5

#1, #2, and #4 look like pullets. But #3 and #5 are a little suspicious.

I am guessing that you are suspicious of #3 & #5 because of the comb area, but what makes you think pullet for #1? I am just trying to figure out what I should be looking for with my other chicks.

Because the size of the comb is usually more accurate, it probably just became more red earlier than the other girls. do you have a side picture of #1?

2, 3 and 4 look like pullets.

Can we get a profile pics of 1 and 5?

What is bird 3?

Sorry, I meant full body profile pics in good light. There's more to sexing than just combs.
