Pullet or Cockerel?

[kirstonz]

This is our first summer with chickens. We got 3 of these (3/4 cochin, 1/4 silkie) chicks as hatchlings. Initially we had thought they were hens but after bringing a rooster home these 2 have started to crow and are a bit aggressive with any new hens we get.
What do you think?
TIA!

They're beautiful! But really need better pics please...headshots closeup and profiles.

They both look like roosters to me. Especially the one in front, the way he flaps his wings!

They look quite similar and have similar personalities. The one on the right in the second picture is definitely a hen.

I enlarged the picture and both appear to be cockerels . If they are crowing it's a sure sign . The first one has a curved roosters tail and pointy saddle feathers . All male characteristics . The one in back is hard to tell on the tail but I think I can see pointy saddle feathers .


Your recent photo I see 2 cockerels .
