Should #3s comb be larger like #2? I know they develop at different rates but I don't see any red on #3 and comb is still small. #2 comb is starting to get red and is by far the biggest out of all my chicks so far, and he's the youngest

#2 is a definite male. I'm also thinking #1 is also, given comb size and what appears to be the beginning of darker plumage in the shoulder. The rest aren't screaming cockerel for the present.

I'm also looking at the wattles, it unusual to have a pullet this young with wattles like that. a few weeks will tell for sure.

Ok, thank you

Gotcha, I didn't know to look at wattles as well, good to know.

If it makes you feel any better, this is a very old thread of mine featuring a 7-week-old BCM who ended up a pullet. By comparison, she was nearly identical.
