Do I have two cockerels?

[bbond]

I was confident I had a pullet and a rooster until this tail started to appear.

No worries, only 1 is a cockeral! Gorgeous birds!

Still looks like a pullet!

Notice the saddle feathers of her male counter part that are kind of stringy and pointy? She doesn't have those! No worries.

One male, one female. Nice Speckled Sussex you have

In fact... is that a bald spot on the back of her head from him mating her already? Or what is that red spot I'm seeing?

Thank you all so much! I am so relieved. And thank you for the compliments! I love speckled Sussex and am so happy to have a pair of them again

Haha! Dang autocorrect!

Don’t know what my camera did but she doesn’t have a bald spot. Maybe because she was moving it cloned a portion of her comb.
