Easter Eggers- Pullets or Cockerel

[AzChickMama]

Hi everyone!

Can someone confirm for me that these ladies are in fact still pullets! They are 17 weeks and although I thought I was 100% im questioning as some red combs are showing up. This is my first set of EE and I dont see saddle or hackle feathers like my other roosters. Is it normal for combs to grown and become red as they age? I read somewhere this means they are getting closer to laying?

Have not heard any crowing.


Please be pullets we have already rehomed 4 Cockerels

Pullets! Their combs and wattles will redden as they near POL (point of lay).

I am super new to all this, but I have some EE and they look like this, they are pullets based on feather patterns I am told. I think they are pullets
