These two are stumping me. I've read conflicting sexing info regarding hackle feather shape, wattles and combs and I'm questioning if they are both roos because of this or just one of them or neither. One has rounder hackle feathers and a flat comb area with a wattle and they are very pink (marked these photos chick1) Chick 2 has more pointy hackle feathers and the beginnings of a pronounced comb but it's very light and no wattle. chick1 has darker tail feathers and less white on the head with almost a dark "collar" and chick2 has more white in the tail feathers and the white on it's head extends futher down the neck. I'm actually leaning more towards chick1 being the rooster even without the comb forming, and chick2 being a pullet.
