    SLW pair. 12-13 wks old what gender?

    Hi all, I bought a pair of slw knowing at least one of them was a rooster, now I am not sure if the other is a hen. The combs and wattles are a little different and the tails as well as color are definitely different. Do I have two cockerels or is one a pullet? Thanks in advance.
