I actually think they’re all hens. That’s what they look like to me. Three months is about the age hens start to grow out they’re combs and wattles and then they could be laying within the next month to 7 or 8 months old. Most start at about 5 or 6 months, but I’ve had hens that start a four.
 
They are exactly 12 weeks today! Haha, so could be to early? I have another red/brown i think same parentsas this one, that is definitely a hen its slightly older so I think the brown is definitely a cockeral.
Do bigger breeds take more time to show feathers?
