How old are they? The top pic is too small for these old eyes to make out for sure. The second one looks like a pullet at this point, but could be the angle of the photo. The crested one is still too young for me to hazard a guess. The crested cockerels show themselves much later than the non-crested ones.

ETA - Just went back to the original post so I could see a larger pic of the top one - yes, that one looks like a cockerel.

they are 7 weeks old. The combs on the two red ones are the same. Sorry I can't get better pictures, they don't like me much lol.

Okay, here are the pictures. Ones is more orange than the other, and seems to have gotten more...buldgy.

When did you get them? I wonder if they are from the same hatch as mine? They are 7 wk old Thursday.

I bought eggs from him and hatched them myself. I think I got all your boys. Did KY send me all the pointy eggs or something? *snort*

Probably both cockerels, but some pullets do have somewhat large combs.

You should be able to tell for sure in another week or two.

Her eggs were shipped, but probably laid within a week or two of the ones I hatched for you.

I am a she

, and actually, the eggs I put in the incubator had sat in my kitchen for a week or two before I put them in the bator. I sold the remainder of Leahs Mom's hatch locally and it looks like she got 3 cockerels and 1 pullet.
