Coronation sussex 16 weeks old. Is it a she or a he?

I agree with @OneHappyRooster if they're that age they're pullets.

Looking through my bird photos I only have one of a Sussex. She was 13 weeks old.
I'll attach it anyway.
Bear in mind their combs will be changing a LOT during this time. I don't know where the other photos went, but after that age her comb grew very fast.
She is now a broody hen, 4 years old.

That looks a lot like what happened to Van. The waddles started growing first and then the comb started getting bigger. I still have a brown Legion rooster here he is the same age and is starting to crow. If the Sussex was also a rooster wouldn't they he at each oher trying to determine who is the alfa for the flock? (The leg horn was here first as we got him as a day old and was raised by my araucana)

Both are pullets nearing POL.

Im gonna keep my guess of cockerel but time will tell now if it pops out an egg or decided to crow! : D hope it's a girl but it doesn't sit right with me

This is what they looked like when we got them at 10 weeks and they both looked like girls to me. I really hope I start finding lots of eggs soon. Sorry I don't know how to rotate the photos

I'm thinking pullets, POL.

Hmm....the tail feathers of the lighter coloured one look like a cockerel to me. The cockerels have a wider wing span as well if you can pull their wing span out. They have 2 longer feathers at the end. But one of them does really look like a cockerel...sorry.

Thanks for your reply Marcelle. That's the one I'm suspicious about. I'll check their wings this afternoon when mu husband gets home and look for those longer feathers. I really hope it is a she, as I was told it was a she when I got it but for some reason I've always had my doubts.

Yup, no doubt of them both being girls.
They are 100% pullets going to lay soon.
