Are these Brown Leghorns cockerels?

[amh619]

I ordered these Brown Leghorns as cockerels from Hoover’s Hatchery. They are 9 weeks old. Their combs have gotten bigger but are not very red. They are very alert of the surroundings. Please let me know what you think.

They have hen-specific plumage.

Those are hens.

Sure look like pullets to me... so if they are cockerels... late maturing.

The whole bottom of the body should be turning black.. and is on my breeds that do that usually much younger.

Those are some beautiful pullets!
