Buff Orps and RIRs - pullets or Roos?

[Ecto04]

My 4 chicks - Marcia, Jan, Carol and Alice - are all supposed to be pullets. They are all 16 weeks now. All had similar comb and wattle development until the past week or so when Alice's comb and wattles started to come in quickly. Alice is smaller than our other RIR and appears to be lowest in the pecking order. I thought the change in comb and wattles was because she was getting close to laying. Is it really because she’s a roo?? For good measure, I thought I’d post a pic of each. Tell me what you think! Do I really have a Marshall, Jon, Carl and/or Alister? Thanks!

Not seeing the pics yet.....that age is pretty close to when you would see a pullet start to mature

They should be showing up soon. I have rural internet service. Takes forever.

Even Alice??? Will she lay soon then?

It looks like you have an Allister. You should probably hear him crowing soon

You have all pullets.
I believe Alice will start laying soon
