RIR 2-3 month olds.What to look for when sexing them?

My rhode island reds are around that age. The cockerels are already getting their cones and they are very red. They are also getting waddles. I also notice they stand more erect than the pullets.
The cockerels tails will be more stumpy (short) They will also feather out slower. Hope this helps
 
At 2 months there will be major differences. The males will have much larger red/pink combs, have waddles and be larger in size than the females. The females will have very small yellowish combs.

I have 5 that are 10 weeks old and it has been obvious which 3 are boys for at least a month. If you have more than one sex, you will definitely notice a difference. It's harder when you have all of the same sex.
 
all 5 of mine look the same
