EE hens or Roos?

[lindseyawest]

Just picked up these two EEs. They're about 4-4.5 months old. I'm hoping hens, but what says the BYC brain trust?

They look like pullets.

I don't know why the other two pics don't seem to have come through, but here's a better shot of the other one's comb, for good measure.

If they are indeed 4-4.5 months you've got two pullets.

I agree.

Lighter colored one is a pullet, but the darker red one I'm not too sure of... would like to see a better side pic showing the tail area, not sure but almost looks like saddle feathers...

A good close up of the comb would be good as well to make certain it has only the single row of peas indicative of a pullet, and not the three rows of peas indicative of a cockerel.

Here's the darker one's comb. I'll try for a better tail shot today, but I'm keeping them in the cage as I introduce them to my other three chickens, so it will still have the cage in it.

Tail feathers

It looks like single row of comb to me.
