I think they're pullets. If I'm correct, amber links have a lot of leghorn blood. At 12 weeks, males would have much larger combs, I'll bet those girls start laying for you around 16-18 weeks. Any signs of hackle or saddle feathers yet? A full body profile shot would help.

Just checked their saddle feathers are short except for near the tail which are longer and seemed rounded.i have noticed a few that still put the neck feathers up but that seems to have slowed or nearly stopped

That looks like a hen to me. Congrats!

Yay!!!! Thank you you just made my day. I hope they start laying at 16 to 18 weeks... I can not wait till they have their first egg
