pullet or roo? welsummer

[chicken19]

I'm no expert but I know this:
Typically roosters are smaller than pullets and have narrower, pointier hens up until around the third week. After the third week they start growing faster than the pullets.

This one has always been the biggest of the two wels. Its not a big difference but its bigher. also have 2 barred rocks.this one has had the fastest Tail and wing feathering. I just read roos tail feathers don't grow in as fast. Thanks for your help.

Your Welsummers are both pullets. That little bit of black flecking is nothing to worry about. A male would have a solid black chest.
