Is this a cockerel or a chicken Wyandotte

Hi I have just bought some chickens got them home and wondering if they are cockerel any help would be brilliant.

How old? I’m the making pic 1 is likely a cockerel.

Age? 8weeks perhaps? I do not have Wyandottes but I would think the first pic may be a cockerel. If it is, the second seems more pullet. Would be easier if you can get a bit closer pics or maybe better angle?

About 8 to 10 weeks

To my understanding, that breed develops fairly quickly so I would sooner suspect those were pullets due to no obvious rooster feathering yet. I am interested in knowing what the opinions are from others who have a better knowledge of sexing and that breed.

if they're both 8-10 weeks old... then their both cockerels. No pullet has that big of a comb and wattles, or that red, at that age.

What @Frazzemrat 1 said. If the age is correct, they are cockerels - it's too young to show male specific feathering. Regardless, they are chickens - both pullets/hens and cockerels/roosters are 'chickens'.
