8 week old SLW's: Pullets or Cockerels??

[Broody Bist]

Hi guys

Here's the deal. I have 3 SLW's, Fran Lacy and Pearl. I'm almost positive that Lacy is a pullet, and I'm leaning towards pullet for Pearl as well. Fran has me a little confused. I've been looking through other threads to see early signs of an SLW cockerel; for Fran, some signs say yes, some say no. So, I thought I might as well start my own thread and post some pics. (sorry for blurry photos, they aren't very considerate when it comes to posing)

Pearl


and Fran (2nd pic: Fran [back] pearl [front])


and here's full another pic so you can see their feathers (from back to front: Fran, Lacy, Pearl)



So what do you guys think??

If I had to guess,I would say pearl is male,other two look like pullets,would wait for sure though.

All pullets

BTW, males look VERY different from females as adults. There would be some sign of the plumage pattern changing over if it was going to. That is much more reliable than trying to decide if the comb is too pink.

Okay, thanks!! We've never had SLW's before, but I have heard that the males have less lace than females. I'm really glad for all pullets though, because we just figured out that one of our EE chicks is a cockerel, so we can't have anymore.

UPDATE!!

side note *****if you’ve been following one of my other old threads and keep getting spammed with sudden updates, sorry lol. I just wanted to do it while I was thinking about it cause sure as the world I’d forget later******

Anyway, turns out they are all 3 hens!! It’s been really cold around here lately so they aren’t laying as much, but definitely laying!! Thanks everyone that helped
