7 wko genders?

[Ren2014]

I wasn't able to get good full body shots. I'm hoping these head shots are helpful enough. Cockerel in the front and pullet in the back???


Horrible lighting but this is the one I'm calling a pullet.

At 7 weeks old, both are cockerels.

I agree with junebuggena; both cockerels. Sorry. (

Both are cockerels.

Almost 9 weeks now

With combs and wattles that large and red at 9 weeks, they're both cockerels. (

They will be getting their 'big boy' feathers in just a few more weeks.

 

[junebuggena]

Yes, their male specific feathering. Those feathers don't usually begin to develop until about 10 weeks old, and take a few more weeks to really be visible. Male hackle feathers have a distinctly 'flowing' sort of look. The saddle feathers emerge from underneath the back feathers, and are very shiny, almost wet looking.
The red bird in this photo is my rooster. This was taken at about 10 weeks old, and you can see the saddle feathers just beginning to show.

 

[junebuggena]

Here he is all grown up. You can see how different those male saddle feathers are compared to the hens in the picture.
