I have 3 SLW chickens that I am having trouble identifying as male or female. They are about 13-14 weeks old. Any help appreciate!

By this age they would have larger combs and male feathering if they were boys.I would guess three boys. Watching thread…
Yeah, rose combs can be really tricky, especially around 6 weeks.I was thinking their combs already looked develped for their age - I stand corrected. Thanks @Saveria and @JedJackson
Beautiful birds!
For some reason, this is especially true with laced Wyandottes. I have no idea why, but young pullets of these varieties can sometimes get big, red combs and even wattles at an early age. Generally cockerels have less even coloring and sometimes get solid colored shoulder patches early. It is what it is. No rule is absolute when determining gender of young chickens. There will always be some deviation from the norms.Yeah, rose combs can be really tricky, especially around 6 weeks.
