Mottled Houdans and 1 EE Pullet or Roo

[FIZBIT]

I have 2 mottled houdans and 1 EE And I am having a hard time figuring these ones out. They are 8 to 9 weeks old.

1st 3 pictures houdan pretty sure is a Roo

2nd set of pics are my EE. It has a reder comb than my other 5 who are close to their heads and very light pink. This one also has much larger legs and the tail is a little different.

3 rd set of pictures are my other houdan. Not as developed as the other one.

EE is a pullet. Not sure on the others.

Oh thank goodness. I already have a Orpington roo I like. Didn't want to have to choose. Thank you

The red wattles on the Houdans could point to them being cockerels. I have never raised that breed, so I am not sure what their rate of maturation is, whether fast or slow. I would try again in a few weeks, unless we get some Houdan specialists in here.

I should also add that Houdans are supposed to be bearded. So those might be mottled Polish or just hatchery quality Houdans.

Orpington’s roo’s are fabulous!

They have 5 toes. So I would assume hatchery quality. The bigger one with the long tail is also getting a V comb. The other one does not have signs of showing a comb.

agree with Jed Jackson

thank you for your help. There isn't allot on the internet about the Houdan's. But from all the pictures I find I can not tell if the females have wattles as their beards are covering that area. I am hoping 1 is a female as I would like to keep one at least. But my gut is telling me that the long tailed is a male. Guess I will have to wait for the Crow.

Well this guy is infact a rooster. He tried to crow this morning. It was quit cute.
