What do you think in gender..... 4 week olds...

On the brown leghorn cross, I wouldn’t worry about the size of the comb unless it turns red super early. For that color, females will have a salmon color breast, and males will have black. So as soon as you see black feathers in the breast, you will know it’s a boy. If the whole breast feathers in without black, then you have a girl.

For this white one, that big pink comb is screaming boy, to me.

Okay so an update. She has no black on her chest at all. Uploading picture. So does that mean it's a pullet!? :jumpy😍

I hate to say it, but I think the black I circled in the neck area will spread down to the breast more as he grows up. And that is some comb he’s got. Sorry. :(

Edit to add:
It looks like the brown leghorn was crossed with a pea comb breed. So instead of a big single comb, this mix will have an unusual shaped pea comb. A big single comb wouldn’t necessarily mean a girl, if it doesn’t turn pink too early, but in pea combs, if it’s this big and this pink at this age, then not much doubt of it being a boy.

Let me try to get an actual picture and color wise photo. Lol I don't see black. Lol

Here we go. Lol either way. If it is a rooster, I wouldn't mind. That would make pretty babies if mixed with other ones.

That's not a pure bred welsummer. He has the wrong comb. I say bpy based on the size and color of comb.
This is the 4th picture she was asking about. Maybe I'm confused as to which chick we are talking about now. Lol
