dunno about Indian Game but with the breeds I have, the males are generally showing a bit more colour in their combs plus wattles are coming through by then-but not in the females.

Look like all female to me. Some clearer side on pics may help.

Numbers 2 & 3 are definitely female.  The picture of number 1 is confusing - does the chicken have a red zig-zag nose-comb (non-technical term!) or is it showing against red ink on the feed bag???

Hi number two and three from same batch but number two is a fair bit bigger than the other and number one is kind of blue and non shiny from different batch which is a week older but half the size than both the others.

 A bit late now, but presumably you now know the answer.?
I would have said 1. = female
                            2. = male - look at different feather markings.
                            3. = female.
So - what was the final outcome?

Hi I think that may be right number 2 is maybe 1/4 bigger than 3 and 1 but number 1 still looks the same as in the photo so i'm not sure if it is pure indian game due to the weird blueish markings but it also gets in allot of fights with other hens.

Hi sorry for any confusion I may have caused by posting on this post but we live in the same house but are different people.

The have no come of age and are in a breeding pen. Number 1 is a male and the other two females but they are probably the most agresive females I have ever seen they show the males Indian game and others who is boss. A  bit like when my horrid sebright male made my large scary malay x o-shamo run.
