Am I a cockerel?

[BackyardinWales]

This is one of my 'babies' who is now 12 weeks old. Am I right in assuming (from these photos) he is a cockerel? I was so hoping these younger 3 were girls.

I think his siblings are girls as they haven't developed their wattles. Sorry they're not great photos.

All look to be cockerels. Sorry.

I am not sure, but even at 12 weeks old females usually still don't have hardly any comb at all. If they are only 12 weeks old I would say most likely all cockerels. Sorry, What makes me say that is just because at 12 weeks old all of my pullets still had no combs or wattles. Here is a picture of my 12 week old pullet and my 12 week old cockerel.

This is the pullet at 12 weeks with no comb still,

And below is the cockerel at 12 weeks with a pretty big comb and wattles.

All 3 birds are cockerels.

That is a different breed with a different type of comb so not really comparable since single combed hens can have bigger combs too. BUT. That said, you’re right that these birds are definitely all cockerels. For this age, the combs are way too big and RED plus the red/gold feather leakage and splotchy coloring. All boys unfortunately.

Ya, I was just trying to explain how you can usually tell, and using my birds as examples between different genders. And I totally agree with u.
