Are these pullets or cockerels?

They both look like pullets

I can understand people thinking the one with a long tail is a cockerel, altho they keep saying it is bc the feathers are sickled... but they arent. They are as straight as straight can be. The feathers at the base of the tail curl a lil but they do on my hens and my known pullet too. But I can not understand why anyone thinks the other one is a cockerel. It has SUPER round feathers everywhere.
 
15 weeks old ? They're pullets.

I dont know why I ask in FB chicken groups... it is like these people think these birds are 4 weeks old. They say ohhh their combs are too red. No pullet has that red of a comb at 15 weeks... ummmm yeah my Welsummer does, lol, her's is even redder... and bigger and her entire face is red. Lol
 
What do you think about that one's long tail feathers?
Still pullets. Those feathers don’t change anything in your case :) here’s my hen. Look at her tail feathers

She is beautiful!
Mine just drives me nuts bc it looks very different than the other one (feather wise). The other one has SUPER rounded feathers and this one, although not pointy like a cockerel, they arent super round either. And that tail... I think she identifies as a peacock.
 
So here are some pics I took this morning... my cellphone doesnt take good pics, sorry that they arent good quality. I also added a pic of my Welsummer pullet for comb/wattle comparison. She is the exact same age.
