Hens or cockerels

[sophie_morgan]

Please can you help me.
It's my first time owning blue laced Wyandotte large fowl. Unfortunately I had only 2 hatch due to the eggs being in the post.

I am convinced they are both cockerels but I guess im holding on to any hope that these type just advance quicker and they are getting ready to lay combs rather than boys. (Wishful thinking)

One is darker brown and the other more grey.

Many thanks for taking the time to help me

Looking at the feathers and combs, it looks like you’ve got cokerels

Forgot to say they are around 13-14 weeks old. Born 2/3rd June

Are they crowing? The tail looks like pullets

Almost definitely cockerels

No, they are not crowing.
At first I thought I had one of each, as the browner one didn't have any Comb or wattle. But now they both have the same size so I'm more inclined to think they are the same sex.

I agree with most of you saying cockerel. I'm just a bit gutted as they are beautiful but previously more than one cockerel has caused us aggression.

I can get them rehome quite easily but I wanted to keep them.

Thank you everyone

There are articles here about rooster aggression and ways to prevent and curb it, you should do some searching on the forums and articles before deciding to rehome or cull them! They are beautiful birds

They look like blue laced red Wyandotte mixes to me.

This is how the pure bred should look like
