SLW cockerel or pullets?

[tripletfeb]

Hey all! I posted this question 2 weeks ago and was told to repost at 10 weeks old so here I am! Do I have 2 pullets? Please use their names because I have such a hard time telling them apart! Thanks! Feed store chicks, by the way

Pullets.

Even though they have red combs and wattles that have some development, they don't have the tell-tale wing patches that SLW cockerels nearly always have. And, for some reason, SLW pullets do sometimes get size and color in the combs and wattles early.

So I think it's very likely you have pullets. Hopefully some more opinions will come your way to confirm.

Thanks. Anyone else have opinions?

I'm saying pullets because of how round their saddle feathers are.

Pullets!
