Pullet or cockerel?

[Callaleigh]

Hello! New member but I've been reading the threads on this site for quite some time and have found all of the information very helpful.

I'm wondering if this Rhode Island Red and Wellsummer are pullets or cockerels? I ordered all of my girls from an online hatchery, but know that sexing them isn't always accurate and am worried I ended up with a couple of Roos. They're 16 weeks old. What do you guys think, hens or roosters?

Pullets, I'd say.

Pullets, I'd say.

Thanks! I hope so!

Looking like pullets to me, I got my first rhodey this year, but my entire flock appears to be quite slow to mature as they arent yet laying and thier combs dont seem to have become overly prominent yet by 7 months and yes they are seven months they are all feb. Chicks.

Here is a male RIR... Pippy had a huge comb by like 6 weeks... He is 16 weeks... Sorry, wish the pictures were better, but just trying to give you perspective. He was a sexed female, I knew very quickly he was not a girl. He was also the noisiest damn bird. That is until I got my silkies... they are the most annoying noise boxes I have lol.

They are pullets.

Welsummers can be sexed by color pattern. A cockerel would look like this

Could you please give me your opinion on the gender of my rir, also? I was looking around this website and stumbled upon this post and noticed that mine looks very much like this one. "She" is 20 weeks old.

Our chicken is a Lavender Orpington. We thought she is a she but now she is towering over all of other chickens. Is she a she or he? I attached 2 pictures from different angles. I am starting to think a rooster since the ear waddles starting coming in.

The one in front is a pullet I think.
