3 months old & still questioning!

[MTN Hens]

Hi! I posted these loves a while ago but I am still unsure if I’ve got pullets or cockerels. Any thoughts?

we inherited a Bantam couple (roo & laying hen) which likely won’t get along with another roo so I’m hopeful for all hens. But I will make decisions that make sense as things unfold. So far the bantams are separate still.

First is looking female, need better full body pics in good light. Second looks male via pattern and redness.

pullets

I'm like 50-50 on the first one. Really hard to tell but leaning pullet. The second one (the white one) I think is a boy.

pullets

Is it just me or are there emerging saddles on the black one?

Yeah. And the first has a color that isn’t gender specific, plus those rusty head flecks. And SADDLES that may or may not be there and are killing me.

Yes, I think you are right-- difficult to tell with the lighting. Maybe a close up picture of the saddle area from the side would help.

I saw those too. They do look like some late blooming pointy saddles, and combined with the neck pattern it's really throwing me off.

The second one though;

That looks like boy feathers for sure right there.....
