    I think that black and white looks just like our boy Francis at that age!

    He looks a LOT like our Silver Ameraucana cockerel at that age we got in a lot of 5 "Ameraucana/Easter Eggers." He's gorgeous!

    These three have all been true for the EEs I've had, too!

    It's not just the size, but the kind and size. The brown one looks like my Legbar cross EE. Coloring is the same and they have a big floppy comb. Here is a picture of mine: Her pullet comb is bigger than my oldest cockerel's pea comb. She lays pale pink tinted eggs. I have another colored and...

    I'm guessing boy again. Looks almost exactly like our boy Francis at that age. Saddles should start to come in as early as 11 weeks so I'd hold on a few more weeks. I have a iridescent solid black pullet so that's not why that's my guess. But the tail feathers, base of tail feathers, bright pink...

    Okay! Got on the computer so I could click on the individual pictures for better close ups! I see now that what looked like saddle feathers was just the white lacing. What do you mean by "the mottled one"? The black and white? I see no reason to suspect the gold/buff one isn't a pullet. Could...

    Much closer pictures would really help. It looks like the white has saddle feathers hanging down. How old are they? When the saddle feathers start, they are high up on the back between/under the wings. EEs can be all white. We have a beautiful Snow White pullet named Sunny. She was a yellow...

    How did the feed store know they were pullets? Did they order them sexed from a hatchery? I have my suspicions about both of them. Haha sorry. The brown has a very muted typical pullet color! But I'm suspicious of the level of red/pinking in the comb at just 9-10 weeks and the curved tail...

    I'm just suspicious of the longer narrower feathers flopping over from the back at the base of the tail. While they aren't "saddle feathers" they make me suspicious of "what's to come." But the saddles should start making an appearance in just the next couple of weeks if there are to be any...

    Not all cockerels have red in them to have red shoulders. I don't think they are a trait they develop based on gender, just that if they have red in their coloring, boys have more concentrated patches across the shoulders and girls have more muted or broken up red. I have a cockerel that started...

    My first batch of Buff Orpingtons were supposed to be "vent sexed pullets" but 4/5 were obvious boys with huge red combs and wattles by 5 weeks old! I bought a couple of older Orps to try and even my odds of a pullet, but one turned out to be a boy once his second batch of feathers came in. I...

    Cockerel! Looks so much like one of our very first chickens, Marshmallow!

    At 22 weeks there would be serious saddle feather growth. I don't see a saddle feather or hackle or sickle feather anywhere so I think you're good to go on them being pullets.

    I'm on team pullet for these three too. It's much more than just "red shoulders" IMO. At 15 weeks you can expect some redness and even younger if they get chased or picked up, they'll redden up too. By 15 weeks, I'd definitely expect to see some saddle feathers. You can spread the wings and look...

    A straight on shot of the comb would be helpful, but for now that looks like a sweet little pullet!

    At 13 weeks, I'd say youve definitely got a pullet here! Yay!

    A picture of the black and whites face would really help. I'm going to go with pullet on that one for now though. Carriage and feathers look pullet, even in striking black/white is generally a male look. I'd say it's positive the red is cockerel. That's a male comb in size and color at this age...
