If you look carefully you can see the saddle feathers going downwards.

I see two pullets, but I could be wrong. You see compared to @sunnie7 , the comb your birds are paler and the tail is pointing towards the heavens and I don't see those Lancet feathers either and honestly they should be atleast practicing to crow by now.

I hope so! If they are boys that makes 10 total I got that were roos from 21 chicks. 8 from TS I got rid of 6, kept 2 and SO wants to keep these two no matter what. Just in their own pens. But I really hope pullets, neither try to crow but I have a 20 week head roo and his side kick who crow alot that may intimidate them?

Look at their posture, in the pick their posture looks like that of a pullet. Also cochins are single comb chickens, which makes them easier to sex. You see compared to @sunnie7 the comb of your birds look pale, in cockerels it should be a more deep red. If you look carefully you can see the early development of Lancet (pointy feathers on the back of roosters, closer to the tail, pointing downwards) in his cockerel, I don't see any Lancet development in your birds. Also notice the difference in their posture.

Do you have some more pictures?

Male specific saddle feathers would only be starting to come in at 12 weeks.

A cochin pullet should not have wattles this developed at this age. The combs are less developed than you typically see with cockerels though.

I will say cockerels.

What do you see @OneHappyRooster?
