Hey all!

Can I get some help with our Speckled Sussex chickens.

Millie (first 3 pictures) Chippy (2nd 3 pictures) & Florence (4th 3 pictures) are 10 weeks old, and Rudie (3rd 2 pictures) is 9 weeks.

Chippy has one wattle that has developed but not on the otherside.

My heart is telling me they're mostly roos, please tell me I'm wrong! We aren't allowed any roosters at all where we are. 💔

TIA!
💖

This bird is the only one that I am somewhat skeptical being a male due to the wattle growth. The others should be pullets!

Yes! Me too!
It doesn't really show any other obvious cockeral appearances though! Millie (the first 3 pics) is the one with the brightest comb, but none of them are large, nor do they have any wattles - just this one & only on one side 😅
