Welsummer chicks: two pullets, or is one a cockerel?

[miles_litteratus]

Acquired two Welsummer chicks from a local source, supposed to both be female. They'll have just turned six weeks and are developing quite differently, however. Specifically, one has a much more noticeably developed comb and different colorations. Being so young, they are quite hard to photograph, but we did our best. Any thoughts? More photos can be provided, as well as a video.

OK, that was my suspicion. I am actually in need of a rooster, so happy to have gotten one by mistake. Thanks for replying!

No problem! I got some chicks back in February, two of which were supposed to be Welsummer pullets, well one ended up being a cockerel! You can take a look at the second link in my signature and see what your cockerel will look like at 12.5 weeks old! It's a pic of my Welsummer cockerel.
