What gender are these Leghorn's?

[Justhatched]

They were supposed to be pullets. What do you think?

5 weeks on Tuesday 3/13/2012 This one will fall asleep while I hold him/her.



Not sure of the exact age. I'm guessing about 4 weeks old.

 

[BlueCamas]

At that age with that big of a comb? I would say boys, unless they are some crazy fast maturing mutation pullets

 

[ramirezframing]

I don't know as leghorn hens do mature faster than other breeds and the hens do have huge combs

 

[featherz]

No,at 5 weeks those are gonna be roos. My leghorn babies had huge combs, even at babies, but they were yellow, no pink at all.

Just found a pic of my girls at 12 weeks..

 

[PAchicks007]

I agree with the others - think they are roos. Sorry and hope I'm wrong.

So ill be the weird one

I say the 1st one is a roo and the 2nd one is a pullet, the first ones comb is really red but the 2nd ones is more yellow, and smaller less red wattles

Here is one of my Leghorn pullets at 4 weeks...

I think those may be boys

Edited to add the right picture

first one male second one female, but I have had leghorns surprise me at 10 to 12 weeks (all hens one day and the next day wondering where the rooster came from). I have only had chickens for a year and half but i get a steady supply of leghorn chicks from the local schools that hatch in the classrooms.

Both boys. Their combs are way too big for 4 weeks to be pullets. Even leghorn pullets at that age don't have that large of a comb.

I agree. I have leghorns as shown above and I would be highly surprised if either of those is a pullet with a red comb at that age.
