Specked Sussex 11 weeks old gender?

[jess123456]

Hello,
I 2 speckled sussex's, both 11 weeks old, neither crowing, but I suspect one (or both) is a boy.

This one has smaller head dangles (sorry i dont know the actual name for them!)

This one has much more pronounced dangles, and greenish tail feathers. They are both about the same size.

Thanks!!

Thanks!!

The “Dangles” are called wattles, haha!

You have a pair, which means the first is a girl, second is a boy.

Looks like a pair to me. They are both adorable!

I'm trying to see saddle feathers. Does anyone see any? The speckles are making it difficult. Lol

Yes, a pair. I love my Speckled Sussex!

First one looks to be a pullet, second one looks to be a cockerel

I’m seeing some on the wings, here.

But you’re right! Speckles make it hard.

I thought saddles were on the back tail area, thin feathers like hair parted in the middle. I didn't know to look on the wings.

Pretty pair! First is a pullet, second is a cockerel.
