At 11 weeks cockerels have redder combs than pullets. It is difficult in these pictures to see for sure. If you are wondering about a specific bird take pictures of it alone. Besides full body pictures and head shots, take pictures of the back because saddle feathers should come in soon.

Thanks for your reply 😂 I have no chance of getting photos on their own or posed, they are wild and aren’t standing calm when I’m around, they are jumping, pecking, flapping or doing a chicken pile. They were sexed female at day old, then when I picked them up off a third party at 6 weeks she was pretty sure they were female(she had 30). I already had 2/6 of the first pol mix chickens turned out to be Roos, 2 7week I got were Roos (who are now huge Roos). I currently have 2 Roos 6 laying pullets + the 7 11 week olds(when I brought all pullets) so I’m paranoid that I’m a rooster magnet. So I couldn’t see pointed feathers when I look through feathers, but I also thought maybe could tell by feathers color, shape of comb, neck feathering or something like that I could look for Or have pictures of the same breed at that age but know what gender they turned out.
