Please I have 2 SLW 9 weeks old! Boy? Girl?

[Alluundra]

Hullo I was wondering if you could please spare some of your time admiring my chicks and if you can turn away to tell me what their gender is? TIA!

The first 2 pics show them together.



The next 4 pics are of the one I think may be a boy. I have nicknamed him littleTail as his tail feathers are the smallest in the whole flock.


The last ones are of the one I think may be girl. Her nickname is royal as she has no problems bossing the other birds if they are in her way.

They are both pullets.

I just learned this...pullets will have "regular" lacing, meaning it's clear that they have a white feather tipped in black, and you can usually see a pattern in the feathers, they look "neat". Cockerels will have random white and black patterns on their feathers, will usually be a little bigger, and will have a more developed comb. (Of course, there are exceptions I hear!)
Your seem to have some lovely ladies
I have 10 SLW's about the same size as yours (we got them in a SR) and when they are side by side, it's very clear which is which. Hope that helps!

Thank you! That helps a lot! Explains a lot on the behaviour too.

I believe those are both pullets

Idk the one with the incorrect single comb is kind of suspicious looking in a couple pics

I think they are pullets as well. I have five of them that look just like that.
