Roosters??

[Butterscotchbitesfinger]

Hey guys. I bought 7 8week old chicks about a month ago so 12weeks old about now. I noticed these two seem to have redder combs than the others and I saw my adult rooster picking on my blue leghorn, then I noticed what appears to be saddle feathers on my Plymouth Rock. Anyway take a look at the pics I took, I could be seeing things but idk.

Both appear to be pullets to me.

Pullets!

I would say blue=cockerel, rock=pullet

On the blue, the hackles and saddles say male, though the comb and wattles are pale and small. Watch and wait to see if they catch up or not.

Thank goodness! I really like them but I wasn’t sure because they were starting to spar a bit and the Plymouth Rock had kinda curled tail feathers

Hens can have curved tail feathers too.
The male-specific saddle feathers have pointy ends and are skinny, which makes them distinctive even before they grow long.

Yeah I don’t have much experience in sexing either breed so I wasn’t sure.

I'm also thinking both are little pullets.
