Sexing silver laced Wyandotte’s - comb development

[Kmarkello]

Hi. My chicks are 3 weeks old. Suddenly , two of them have started developing different combs from all the rest. One of them looks much more red. I think the one on the right might be me and the one on the left is female. Can anyone offer their experience?

That’s exactly what happened to mine, 5 developed the comb to the right and 2 developed the comb to the left. The ones with the right comb turned out to be boys for me.

Bird to the left in the picture is single combed and likely a pullet, Bird to the right has a normal Wyandotte comb and may be a cockerel.
