White Leghorn Combs?

[abosman]

At 2 weeks those do look like cockerel combs. How many did you get?

i got three leghorns and one golden comet. All sexed pullets.

At the moment they look like pullets. Those combs aren't unusual for Leghorn females, and there is no wattle development at all. If the comb suddenly sprouts, turns red and the wattles become more evident in the next couple of weeks then you have a cockerel. Males mature very quickly.

She’s right and now I’m completely unsure of my answer. I need to do a better job of taking pics of my young ones for reference. It would be unusual for a hatchery to screw up that bad unless you got the last three birds in the bin. Meaning they could have been picked over. This is what my 15 week old pullets look like now

These pullets had very little combs when younger. I’m frustrated that I can’t tell for sure what you have because I raised a WL cockerel just last year. When I get to the office I’ll see if I have some old pics of him for comparison.

I’ll be looking for your update. I’ll have to stick with my answer as cockerels for now. I hope I’m wrong.
