Please confirm that these roos

[DeeBundchen]

Chickens are now 3 months old- I heard crowing today but not sure from which one. Breeder thought these were girls bc they were small at 10 weeks old. Last post here BYC thought white OE was a girl at 9 wks. Everyone said BCM was a roo. BCM has huge red comb but breeder said her hens had big combs/wattles too and her roos had more colors than mine. I think both are cockerels- can u guys confirm? Thank u!

can't tell if there are saddle feathers?

Yep, with those large red combs (and large red wattles in the case of the BCM) at 3 months, they are both cockerels. Sorry. (

I think you're right. They're both cokerels... And at 3 months they probably won't have saddle feathers, bit will shortly

I thought so too Michael. I guess they were too young at 9 wks to tell when I tried to return to the breeder. It's been a guessing game! But I did have an inkling all along both were boys. Thank u!

Oh didn't know that about saddle feathers. These are my first flock and I got 3 roos out of 4! Bummer. Thanks!
