big enough to tell now? rooster or Pullet?

In the pics you provided, the comb and waddles appear to look like a pullet....not screaming cockerel!

My pullets are 12 weeks and a couple of them are more developed than the others and showing a little red on their waddles and comb.....examples:

So there having dominance issues? Only ruses two like to squabble, nothing major, but they do fluffy up and jump on each other or peck, not often but at least once a day when I'm looking.

We have 11 week old roos....I would say yours are girls. I know crowing starts at different times for different roos, but ours have been crowing or trying to crow since they were 6 weeks old. They are powerhouse crowers now. ;o)

If by now they haven't been stretching their necks and bodies forward with their hackles raised looking like "what do I do next?" (trying to crow) I think you're in the clear.

Both are stretching there necks and jumping on each other. Like a dominance thing. Do only sime austrolorps have waddles?the other gals of the same age do not have waddles nor the red combs,theres are yellow. No red on there faces at all.
