Pullet or Cockerel?

[OkieSLW]

I have no idea what sex these chickens are or how old they are. Looking for some feedback on this.

I don't have any guesses on their gender, but I think those are Silver Laced Wyandottes, some with the single comb, some with the rose comb.

What's the difference between the two Combs?

 

[PioneerChicks]

Chicks a few weeks old have a line of bumps for the single comb, but rose comb chicks' heads are smoother because the rose comb takes a little longer to grow.
I don't think it affects your chickens unless you show them at fair or some other place, though I have heard that some combs don't get frostbitten.

Thank you for your feedback

How can you tell them apart as far as hen or rooster? I read that the chest pattern is a good way to tell if they are pullets or Cockerel.

Of you re-posted this in the "what breed or gender" forum you would get many more replies.

Here are some tips:
-boys have pointed feathers than girls
-boys are normally more bold
-by 2 months boys will have larger, redder combs and thicker legs
-2-4 months boys will start developing saddle and hackle feathers

Apreachiate that. I'm telling you this breed is tuff! I found out that three are pullets and one is a Cockerel. They all had the same combs (kinda) same feather patterns but only one crows lol and is definitely flashier.
