RIR pullets?

[AusHen]

I hatched these Rhode Island Reds on October 10th so almost 16 weeks. I have said they are pullets the whole time but one has me now wondering if it's a sneaky cockerel or just an early maturing pullet. in the photos it's the one with the #3. #2 has some bent saddle feathers on one side but they are round and look more like #1 on the other side

1 is a pullet
2 and 3 just cockerels
You have nice looking birds!

1 is a pullet
2 & 3 … I'm not sure on. I would expect more comb and wattles with 16 week old cockerels. But they look to be good quality/heritage type RIRs so they're likely slower maturing.

Update with new pics in a couple weeks.

I think they are all pullets. At 16 weeks, I would think they would have some pointy saddle feathers and more comb and wattle development. I agree with grayfarms, update us with new pics in a few weeks.

Thanks for the replies, I'll update in a few weeks.

They are definitely all pullets my 7 week old cockerel has double the size wattles and comb and he’s a bantam!

I also hatched Sussex, Australorp and Leghorn and the cockerels were easier to identify early on so I'm really hoping these are pullets especially since out of 13 of the others I raised only 1 was a pullet

I honestly can't say for sure yet. Maybe in a couple of weeks it'll be easier to tell.
