I'm not sure what sex two of my chickens are. I am hoping they are hens but now I'm not so sure.

Number one- Nilla, we hatched this one our self from eggs we bought from someone. S/he is 13 weeks old now. We aren't sure the breed of him/her either. Any ideas on breed too?

Number two- Indi, is an EE. S/he is 9 weeks old now. We were thinking Indi is a "she" because there really isn't a comb or wattles and there isn't any red. Now we aren't really sure beacuse of the long tail. The tail seems rooish because it's long but no comb or wattles seems henish.

Yep, I guess boy on #1, because the saddle feathers look pointy and long.

And #2 Indi looks pullet, she looks just like my other EE pullet.

Check the legs on the white one do you feel spurs coming out?

Acctually I did check Nillas legs for spurs. His feels just like the pullets I have him in with. I have another Welsumer roo outside ane hes younger then Nilla but is more devolped then Nilla is.
 
First one is male, too young for spurs yet. Those dont grow till he's over six months old, usually. The Easter Egger looks like a pullet, at least at the moment. Maybe a picture in a couple of weeks would help.
