I know they are notoriously hard to sex, and can look fairly rooster-ish, but one of my lavies is heavier, and has more spindly hackle feathers. The other one looks like a picture perfect example of a pullet IMO. Wondering what y’all think. I have some side-by-sides, and a couple singles. The one on the right is the suspect chicken. The saddle feathers are the main hold up for me. They don’t have that typical pointed droop that you would expect. They also have similarly sized combs and waddles, but those can take a bit to come in anyway. They are perching so you can’t see the legs, but they are similarly sized from what I can tell. 3rd picture is the tail and saddle feather area on the possible cockerel. 4th picture is the tail and saddle area on what I think is definitely a pullet. Both are 14 weeks old.

Two pullets. I'm pretty confident about this since I just went through it with three pullets (one of which was not obvious and is now laying eggs) and one of which was a definite cockerel and is now living the life with his own little flock and one of the pullets. They are named Opal and Opie haha
