Chicken gender

[Nellieribbo]

Hello, I have two silver penciled wyandotte chickens that I am struggling to sex and was wondering if someone might be able to help? They are 8 weeks old, developed a few brown feathers that my others don’t have and more pronounced combs. They don’t have spurs developing on legs like some of my other roosters... these rose combed buggers really stuff me up haha.

I’ve numbered the chicken photos for easy reference and included a picture of what the feathers look like.

I’d guess they’re both cockerels because of the darker chests.

First one is definitely a cockerel, second is most likely a cockerel as well.

I had a feeling this was the case, resorted to this website hoping my mind could be convinced otherwise haha. Had the worst luck in the world with this lot, hatched out 40 odd chickens and ended up with only 7 hens.

I'm leaning very heavily towards both being cockerels as well... but could you post more pictures in a few weeks?
