Pullet or Roo???

[snpurser]

18-19 week old silkies? Any ideas??? The black one acts more rooish... But what do I know... I'm a newbie! Thanks!

Both are roosters. I can tell because the comb and wattles are large, the stance is tall, the feathers are shiny and coarser than those of a hen, and the crests are slicked back and small (a hen would have a rounder, larger crest in most cases).

Both birds look like roosters. A hen would have a puffier crest, squatter stance, and smaller comb and wattles.
