I got 2 jubilee orpingtons today. Can you tell the gender of them?
Thanks.

I think the one on the left is a cockerel and the left a pullet... They are about 16 weeks? But the one on the left is clucking!!??
 
Sorry, they're both cockerels :(


Really? The one that I thought was pullet has a totaly different body type. The one on the left has a long neck and has a shorter body. The one I the right is more plump. Well actually they could be from different blood lines

. I'll try to get a better pic.
 
In the new pictures I can see that the suspected cockerel has darker patches on it's wings, so there is no chance it is a pullet. Are they both the same age? The comb on the suspected pullet looked very large in the first picture but it looks more proportioned to it's body size in the second. The new picture makes me more hopeful that it's a pullet, but I wouldn't put my money on either gender yet :) Can you post some updated pictures when they start maturing more?
 
Yes they were born around the same time. The suspected boy hasn't totaly feathered out yet! You can kind of tell since its kind of messy around his/her "behind area".
