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

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.

Could you get a picture of the comb?

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.View attachment 1111758 View attachment 1111756

Could you get a picture of it's saddle feathers?

looks like a pullet to me... the legs are smaller than my RIR and he is only 16 weeks. It would be easier if I could see the birds face. A rooster will have shiny saddle feathers, and look almost wet on the hackles... I have attached a better picture for you to compare.

This bird absolutely does not like me so pictures are so hard to get but here is "her" face and hackle feathers. The Rhode Island Red on the left is the only one I'm worried about. The sex link on the right is already laying along with my Dominique. The Red has yet to start laying.

comb

Here is the RIR's face & comb. "She"'s not a fan of me so it's hard to get good pictures

still looks like a pullet to me... but I only have a rooster RIR ... yours is older than mine, and she still does not have as big of wattles or the long rooster feathers.

Hen

ummm there are no long feathers on the tail... doesn't look like there are pointy saddle feathers either. The pictures I linked are of a rooster that was 15 weeks old. He is now 16 weeks, and tries to mount my pullets. He makes threatening noises to the baby chicks in the separate coop. and he has a rooster tail. Not that they don't all grow at different rates, but he was obviously a rooster at 7 weeks.

Hmm I'd say all pullets as well

I took some new pictures today, you can clearly see my cockerels saddle feathers, they are long, thin and pointed. He is 16 weeks in these pictures... he is still not crowing lol so I think he knows if he crows he will be taken away, just like the others.
