Hi,
I have 3 chicks (welsummers cross warrens we think), they were hatched in an incubator at school. I already have 2 black rocks and intend on keeping the hens but not any cockerels.....any ideas which are which?? I have tried to take the best possible photos showing all 3 tails and combs.

Here is Henry (Henrietta!)










Here is Peppa









and George







and a general photo....


I hope the photos help, Peppa and George are quite similar so I hope I haven't mixed the photos.

Any comments or ideas of the sexes would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!!
 
Thanks for taking the time to reply! Can I ask what gives it away that Peppa is a rooster? Just interested, and can look out for the characteristics in the other two.

Thanks again :)
 
pappa would be the one to watch due to its coloring but over all they look like pullets i would wait till at least 13+ weeks

The one on the right in the above pic is probably a boy.
