White Leghorn Gender?

[Nuclear Chickens]

I have three 18 week old white leghorns. I ordered all as hens from MPC.com. They all looked the same until just recently. Their combs and waddles have changed. I have heard it my be a sign they are getting ready to start laying. But I am also wondering if I have a Roo, maybe two. Their combs and waddles were small and pale until last week. I have one with a large comb and bright waddles. One with medium comb and waddles. And one pale and small waddles. Are they maturing in stages or do i have a Roo? Sorry about Pic quality but best cell camera could do. None of them have crowed yet. But my Big Buff Orphington sure has.

Botton Pic is one I suspect is Roo. But these are the first Leghorns I've had.

X2. My WL hen has pronounce, dark red comb and wattles. You'd know if you had a rooster or not without a doubt.

Pullet indeed. At 18 weeks it is getting a bigger comb because it is almost ready to lay eggs. . . Also, Leghorn hens have HUGE, often floppy combs.

Pullets. White Leghorns get HUGE floppy combs. You'll be getting white eggs soon!!!

Thanks for the replys. I already have one Rooster that I've gotten attached to and didn't want to have to choose between them.

pullets! Look at mine and compare them. Pretty soon their combs will flop over. They lay brilliant white eggs!
