I hatched these guys out of the incubator from eggs I bought. And they're about 3 weeks old. Are they male or female? Both?

My guess is boy (top) and girl (bottom.) I"m certainly not an expert, but unless you have an exceptionally brave female (which does happen) I have found that stance indicates a lot. Also, the comb is larger on the top picture. Of course, it really is pretty early to tell, but I like to guess. LOL!

Lol thanks I wasn't sure if it was too early or not and I have also had a pullet grow a comb that red at that age LOL
 
I've seen that happen too. I've got some older birds that I STILL can't tell on some! LOL! If it crows or lays an egg, I will know for sure. ;)
 
It's really too early to say for sure. And, leghorn girls can sure fool you sometimes cause they'll grow big ol combs pretty early, so you think they may be roosters. You'll have a better idea around 6-8 weeks old.
