10.5 week EEs

I posted these "guys" 3 weeks ago, and I'm still not super confident... Do you see saddle/hackle feathers that I'm missing?

This is a roo from my last hatch, same parents and exactly the same age:

Saddles don’t usually come in till 12-14 weeks. What breeds or mixes are they?

i agree here
clearer pictures would probably help, then

Missed that. Thank you.

Yes sorry, I should've included that in the post too. Reality is, anytime I'm "unsure", they end up being roos. So I should probably cut my losses . Just was hoping for at least one pullet since they're from my favourite roo who we lost to a predator (quickly tossed some eggs under a broody when he passed, but she only hatched these two. And I find it harder when I don't have more birds the same age to compare).

The pattern on #2 looks male, however it's comb is extremely small and pale. On your previous post when they were 7.5 weeks I had thought the white one was male. I am not so confident anymore. Still leaning male, but again the comb is still extremely small. Hasn't grown much since before. @Overo Mare may have been correct to remain optimistic.

Right?! They'll probably both end up being male, but they're not being very fair and obvious about it

Boys - I’m very certain.
