Hen or Rooster

[coop2cupcakes]

We have a Rhode Island Red who was born September 19th 2014 and a Silver Laced Wyandotte who was born September 26th 2014 and are not to sure about the sex of the Rhode Island Red. We have done some research on how to know the sex but are still unsure.

They both look like pullets to me.

Could you give me some feedback on what led you to know they are both pullets so I have a better understanding of how to tell?
Please and thank you!

It's a little iffy for me on the RIR, the neck feathers seem pointy to me, can you post a pic of the full bird?

like roos.Id wait it out.

Pullet - the comb and wattles haven't developed much and they are pink, not bright red like they would be on a cockerel at that age. Males should have pointy saddle and hackle feathers, whereas those feathers on a female are more rounded. By this age on a male, you'd probably also start seeing some sickle feathers (those long curvy tail feathers that are often iridescent, depending on breed).
