Is my Delaware a roo?

[CaMom]

Hi,
I am raising 6 chicks and two are Delawares and I can't stop comparing them. They are 11 weeks old. One is definitely a pullet and the other one I think might be a roo. My confusion is that Sunny (the potential roo) developed thicker legs, a comb and wattles earlier than Donna so I assumed Sunny was a Roo but now they look similar except for Sunny's proud carriage, more aggressive behavior and darker tail feathers. Can you help me by looking at these pictures? I really appreciate it! The last picture is of my girl Donna to compare her face to Sunny's.

I do hope to be wrong, but believe all the pictures show cockerels. A pullet would not have this developed of wattle and comb at 11 weeks.

They look like pullets to me.
The cockerels get a lot more smut down the hackle feathers than either of the two you have. They also tend to have barred tail feathers, not solid black. Like this guy.

Thank you!

I would be tentatively voting....pullet.

Very difficult to tell. Young Delawares are tough since it's hard to see cape feather shape or saddle feathers, but I would it expect more black on the tail feathers for a cockerel.

This was Pepper at about 3 months give or take a week, same breed.

The color seems a bit redder, but don’t see any obvious roo feathers.

Unfortunately, I lost her a few weeks ago to a predator

Forgot to add she was a girl.

Added some more pics to provide more angles and lighting depending on the picture.

At least you have something to compare yours to, of a close age.

I think pretty pullets too

I think pullets as well.
