Wanna play the "guessing game"? 3 week old Blue Laced Red Wyandottes

I have three 3-week old chicks. Wanna play? There's two dark ones and one light one.


Chick one

Chick two (the light one)

Chick three

Edited to add: The first chicks "comb" is a lot bumpier in texture and look. Do you think that means something?

chicks 1 and 2 are roosters and chick number three is a hen!

I say to wait a few more weeks. Wys become very easy to tell at some point. I'm only guessing, and it is hard to tell from the angle of the photos but #1 and #3 roos and #2 hen. On my wys the waddles are the first giveaway.

Thank you guys!!

I just really hope chick #2 (the light one) is a hen, I loooove the lighter blrw's.....

I agree...wait about 3 more weeks and it will be easier to tell. My latest hatch of BLRWs are almost 7 weeks and it's been very obvious for the last couple of weeks who's a roo and who isn't.
