Hen or roo? BYM

These are my friend's chickens which her broody hatched.
She was asking me, but quite frankly, I have no idea…
I’ve got a suspect, but what do you think?

How old are they?

How old are they?

I’ll ask!
At least 15 weeks

Going by combs and wattles they could go either way at that age. I'm not very good with saddle and hackle feathers, though.

@BlindLemonChicken any guesses?

Pointy hackle feathers, big fat legs, bright red combs. I’m voting two cockerels.

looks like they’re 12 weeks.

Age makes a difference! At 15 weeks I'd say pullet because I don't see any pointed male feathers. But at 12 weeks I'm fairly certain they're cockerels. The combs are too red for pullets at that age, and at 12 weeks male specific feathers are just starting to come in and may not be visible yet. They also have darker red across the shoulders which makes me think of the red patches easter egger cockerels often have.
