Male or female? 4+ month old SLW

[EllieandOlive]

I had 3 SLW hatch out in April. One has a totally flat comb, and one has a large comb. The other is kind of in between, but I'm thinking pullet based off comparing the 3 to each other, it's more similar to the for sure pullet anyways. Originally I thought I had 2 males and a gal though, so.... Thoughts? Pictures are labeled with M for the known male and ? for the unsure one. The female I didn't photograph, but she is obviously a gal.

Bummer! I was hoping for a trio!

Is it the telltale saddle feathers on the ? Bird that makes you sure it's a cockerel? Or are their more features that stick out to you? I'm still learning

Saddle and sickle feathers on these guys. Combs and wattles are also huge and red

Comb and wattle size and redness along with pointed saddle feathers give away his gender

Messier lacing is a sign, too. Pullets tend to have clearer lacing when young.
