Is the Rhode Island Red on the left a roo????? Both RIR are 3 months old. My gut tells me it is. :(

What about my Silver Laced Wyndotte, Pullet or Roo???


Thank you so much :)
 
The pictures didn't upload, but by 12 weeks old, you should be able to see some saddle feathers emerging on the back if it was a cockerel; and the comb would be obviously bright red and well developed.
This is a good shot of where to look for the saddle feathers. They are thin and very shiny just in front of the base of the tail.
 
Sorry, I can't see the photos. Maybe try again? I'll be happy to help identify your birds when you can get some photos up.
 
The Reddish one is a cockerel. Only, are roosters are that blotchy and have saddle feathers (shinny pointy feathers near the tail) The two blacks and golden ones are hens.
I know that, I was posting a picture demonstrating what the OP should be looking for when it comes to saddle feathers.

This is what he looks like now. Deep red columbian pattern Easter Egger rooster.
 
I will post repost photos again and see if that works so you can see them but should I expect my pullets combs and waddles look the same if they are the same age and breed?
 








I'm resubmitting the pictures, the RIR on the left is the one in question and this SLW as well. All three are 3 months old. Thank you everyone for your help! :)
