Hey guys!
I posted a few weeks ago asking what color these sweet babies would be - and you all were right...they’re white. 😂
Today I’m asking if the one circled is a hen. I originally thought I chose three girls, but this one stands a little taller, more upright than the other two. Her feathering doesn’t seem different though. And she doesn’t crow or act much differently than the others.
Your opinions are appreciated. Thanks!

How old are they now? I think it is still too early. The comb appears to be wide, but that is not a definitive sign of a cockerel. Little cuties! 😊
They are 6 weeks old now.
The first two pictures are the same one. The 3rd is of a different chicken for reference.

Way too young then. First one MAY be a male. But again, too early to be certain. Here is a photo of one of mine at about that age and it is a pullet. So you can not always go by comb width.😊
