Pullets or Cockerels?

[CarolJ]

I'd like some opinions about the two EEs in the forefront of this photo. They hatched on February 9th - so they're 12 weeks old. I'm 99% certain of what they are - just want to be absolutely sure before I put them on Craigslist.

both cockerels(10000000000%) they have nice hackle feathers and the one on the left seems to have some saddles it looks like as well

They have sickle feathers, they're cockerels.

Yes - I knew it. I stood out in the run for awhile this afternoon and watched them - saw the saddle feathers beginning on both of them. Guess I just wanted someone else to agree with me. These are two from the first group of eggs I incubated from my own flock. I really wanted to have a couple of EE pullets from my own flock. So out of three EEs - two are cockerels. SO totally typical of my luck when it comes to chickens.

Those two are now on Craigslist. Thanks for the responses!

We all have to deal with getting more boys than girls! I got 6 Dorkings, and only 1 was a pullet. All the boys (except 1) went to our neighbors who like chicken enchiladas. I'm sorry about the 2 cockerels.
