Are both my Light Sussex pullets?

[karis]

We got these Light Sussex to join our existing flock but I'm now worried that one is a cockerel?? Can anyone help??

How old are your birds? They're both looking female to me at this point.

There 15 weeks, thank you that is good news

On the darker one, I do see those tail feathers that could be concerning, but at 15 weeks I'm thinking pullets. Sussex roosters aren't usually slow to mature like say cochins or some Orpingtons, plus the legs are nice and thin, no comb or wattles, etc.

Yes that was my concern the tail and neck feathers, but I was the same with the waddle ect the lighter one is heavier than the darker one and iv not heard any cockadoodledoo ing but iv only had them a day and a half
Thank you
