Are all these female? They are 4.5, nearly 5 weeks old from eggs I incubated myself. Production Red rooster crossed with Prairie Bluebell hens and Starlight Green Egger hens. There are one, maybe two females from the Starlight Green Egger Hen, the rest of the chicks are from the PBBs. They are being kept in close proximity with 12 young cockerels from the same hatch (those were the obviously male ones) so it's possible there may be a few slow developing cockerels here, but I hope not. Would love to hear what you guys think!

Birds 1-6 and 10 turned out to be female. 3.5 months old now. It was weird because half of them had pale combs and the other half had pinkish combs almost from the beginning. But the 12 I had marked as roosters by 3 weeks because they had more comb growth (bigger) than the others were indeed roosters. (not shown here)

Around 12-14 weeks all the females' combs started pinking up, especially those that had stayed pale.
