Pullet or cockerel?

[Ceakmama]

I have 2 chickens in question! My friend incubated and hatched from her flock, so they may be mix breeds.

I was told the black is an Easter Egger. I think he is a cockerel. He's pretty skittish compared to the others. He is about 8 weeks old. I have another in the flock who is definitely a cockerel, so I was hoping this would be a pullet.

The other in question is the white Leghorn. I think she is a pullet. This one is 9-10 weeks old. She is a less skittish and more friendly.

What do you think?

Edit: they are from a mixed flock. Some mix of Leghorn, Easter Egger, and Barred Rock. Not sure on exact breeds or if any are from pure breeds.

The black one is definitely a cock, I'd say the white one probably is too.

Agreed, but in don’t think the white one is a leghorn

You can’t comb and wattle sex leghorns so if that black one is also a leghorn or has leghorn genetics, then it could be a pullet too... leghorns have notoriously red and huge combs and wattles (even the ladies). They could both be pullets if they’re leghorns... I’m not seeing hackle and saddle differences that jump out at me. Stature wise they seem like girls to me but idk

Looks like a perfectly normal leghorn to me, why don't you think it's a leghorn?

I don’t see a beard on the black either... my guess is these are leghorn/EE mixes and they’re girls... just watch those saddle feathers and if they start to waterfall down then you have a boy, but to me they seem like pullets by first guess. Especially if they have leghorn genes

It just doesn’t seem to have the right body shape or comb; I could be wrong. My leghorns are way “skinnier” and had huge combs by that age

I see, mine looked about like the ones above, The combs vary in leghorns. I see what you mean by them not being as thin, it's just hard to tell because leghorns do vary, mine were thicker at that age.

I agree. Leghorns in addition would have white earlobes. I see nothing personally in common with a Leghorn other than skin color and feather color. They look to be mixed breeds. Perhaps the first could be pure White Plymouth Rock, but considering they're from a mixed flock I am doubtful.

I should add that both are definitely cockerels as well
