Hen or rooster ? Help please

[Eggythechicken]

Hi , I’ve just recently bought two pekin cross old English game chicks they are roughly twelve weeks old .
I was wondering if they are a pullet or rooster ? Can you help me please

Both cockerel

Also your mix seems off on the first bird as it appears crested

agreed on both counts... both cockerels, and one is crested so has something else in there either with or instead of the cochin.

Both are pretty boys!

They both appear to be cockerels to me

I don’t see any saddle feather development so I don’t see where everyone is getting cockerel from? Unless you are going by the comb and wattles, but at 12 weeks there should be some development In that department..

I agree with the first being crested.. interesting looking birds!!

Male and female saddle feathers start growing in at this age, give or take. So that's why there aren't any yet. And no pullet would have a set of comb and wattles that red and developed at this age.
