Rhode Island Red and Leghorn splash
10-11 weeks. Roosters or Hens? I bought sexed chicks 1-2 weeks old (see cute pic) but I'm reading that they shouldn't have pink combs yet...hoping it's a type of breed thing.

Thanks, I suspected the RIR but have held out hope for the leghorn splash whose comb isn't too pink (photo makes it look more red).

I'm not sure that one's a leghorn at all. He's got pink/white legs, which leghorns don't have. Even if he is a leghorn, all the female leghorns I've had over the years grew their combs in at a slightly older age
