Need help sexing my two "ladies"

[thedude14]

Hello everyone! I always type in chicken questions on Google and back yard chickens always comes up first so I've decided it's time to join the forum! I've had these two chickens since they were a week old. They are now 15 weeks of age and I am still trying to guess of they are hens or not. Lots of people have opinions but none are consistent. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! I don't know what breed they are I am sorry but here is a few pictures of them

Pullets

The black one is a BSL so that makes her a pullet and the other looks to be a production red and a pullet

They're both pullets, and looking like eggs aren't too far away. especially the red hen.

All pretty pullets

So another person told me they are both roosters. These chickens are only 4 months old is it normal for a pullet to have such large comb and waddles this early??

It's totally normal for a production bred bird to have this size comb and wattles at this age. I had a red sex link that started laying at 16 weeks, so her comb was large pretty early on.

Your black sex link is sexed by color, sex link means the sex is linked to the gender. Her male counterpart is barred, not solid colored like she is.

At this age, roosters would have hackle and saddle feathers coming in. They'd also have a leggy, unfinished look to them. Your birds are feminine, nice rounded feathers instead of long and pointy, and they look nicely proportioned. I'm 100% confident those are both hens, enough to say if you want to make some easy money, lay a bet with the rooster-sayer. You'll be collecting inside a month, I believe

Nope they are just pullets entering laying age.

If you listen to anyone on here, I would say Donrae is usually the one who knows exactly what she's talking about
