Trouble with peacombs...roos?

They are both males. I used to breed BBS Ameraucanas, loved them. At 8 weeks, no pullet had a comb like that.

Pullets don't get the two outer rows of "peas" until later on, so the middle ridge is usually the only one you see for awhile, as opposed to the cockerels, whose combs stand up and have all three rows showing much, much earlier than the pullets.

Agree w/this. And what I've noticed with my own girls is that the comb tends to stay sort of a bubblegum pink while the boy's just get redder and redder.

ETA: I have a few that are a week or two older than yours, I can get a pic if you like. It's very obvious when you see them side by side.
