Help sexing 3 month old rir

[Notfornuggets]

Hey guys and gals I'm wondering if anyone could help with sexing my 3 month old Rhode island reds please. I thought them to be both roosters but looking at pictures online tail feather shape and comb size would lead me to think otherwise. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yes these are definitely both girls. By three months old, cockerels will have large red combs and wattles already. Since their combs are still small and they have almost no wattles yet, they are girls for sure. Pullets will grow their combs and wattles much later than cockerels.

Combs and wattles would be much larger and you would see rooster saddle and hackle feathers coming in at this stage if they were cockerels.

And do the red faces mean anything? I would have been leaning towards cockerels, with my very limited knowledge.

They get red from running around.
