Another gender question.

Y'all helped me earlier but also got me looking at my chickens again. Now I'm wondering about these two. Hopefully it'll be as easy as the last one I asked about. Roos or hens. The first one shows our 2 very different "blue laced reds" we obviously are very new to chickens and don't know much about telling them apart or even what color they are, any insight would be very helpful and appreciated.

First and foremost... ! I hope that you enjoy tis site as much as the rest of us do! I have learned SOOO much from this site, and hope that you do too!!

Secondly, I know that for sure the attached files down below ( that chicken) is a male! And also the first picture... the chicken in the back is a male!! I' pretty sure the two that i said were males are the same chicken though...
BTW, your chickens are all GORGEOUS! I love them!

Hope this helps!

Your chickens are beautiful! The red and white one in the first picture looks 100% like a pullet to me. The one behind it I'm not sure; it reminds me of a rooster, but I feel like it doesn't quite have male features. And Dotty, from that view, it's hard to say. I kind of think she's a pullet as well, but I'm not sure because of comb size. ? How old are they?
The one below Dotty totally looks like a cockerel to me... S/he just has a different look to him, in the feathers/face and even his build.

The one in the background of the first picture is "Dotty" I put "Dotty" and "not Dotty" on them so it is easier to tell them apart. They do look very similar and I am fairly sure they are both males.
Also, I already REALLY enjoy this site
Thank you!

oh yeah, they are almost 4 months old!

Not Dotty & Dotty are both cockerels.

 

[BirdGirl2004]

Haha. Yes! That's what I thought! They are both beautiful!

1st pic - front is a Splash & a pullet
Not Dotty & Dotty cockerels, you can see the saddle feathering

Can you explain the saddle feathering? I think that is what had me thinking they were indeed males but I'm not sure of the terminology

also we have had no crowing at all yet.
