Gender Confusion

[Nicci69]

Hi all, I have two Heritage Plymouth Rock chicks, now around 15 weeks old. Both have been slow to grow their feathers which I was sure punted towards them being males, but now I’m unsure.
I had also been told and have read that females have darker legs and males have yellow legs.
I seem by that standard to have one of each, but am really unsure.
Wattle sizes and feather growth on both are similar in size also. These two are really confusing me.
Is there anything else I should be looking at to determine sex. I thought by now it would be very obvious.

Photos for interest. Their names are Roxie aka Beetlejuice (curled toes) & Evangeline (darker legs) aka Burton.

Nice looking birds, but I have no idea what sex they are. Maybe @Overo Mare and/or @TheOddOneOut can help.

Both are cockerels.

@MysteryChicken I think they are both quite nice quality. What do you think?

Both male. Very handsome.

They're both boys.

They're both boys.

I was asking about their quality.

Yes, females have dark legs plus darker wash, or just a heavy dark wash.

Males, solid yellow, they may have a small amount of dark wash.

Oh, okay.

They're really great quality.

The crooked toed one is great, other then that.

What beautiful barring on both of them!

If they are 15+ weeks I'm going to guess they are girls.... males tend to have lighter barring
