Speckled Sussex at 13 weeks

[HENS-and-MARES]

I have 2 speckled Sussex that look completely different from each other.
Are the all pullets? None of them act like roosters, in fact they specifically act like pullets. The first 2 are one and the last 2 is the second.

Here is my 13 week Speckled Sussex pullet
(Edited to add pullet)

Wow! That tail screams roo, but it can’t be male with that comb. Is she an adult now?

#2 could be a sneaky cockerel but its pretty unlikely

Good evening. I have 15 speckled Sussex that are 17 weeks of age. The main difference between the pullets and cocks when young is that the pullets have short more orange combs and the cocks have bright red large combs. You could also look for signs off spurs forming on their legs. I will attach a photo of two of my birds at about 7 weeks the pullet is on the left and cock on the right.

Most chickens don’t get spurs until 6 months (the earliest I’ve seen is 5 months) or a year, with some it can take longer. Pullets do have spur buds on there legs too.

Both are pullets.

X2 100%. White on the chest is definitely not always a tell.

She is 15 weeks now.

They are likely too young of birds.

I have read on here, that you should be able to see them starting to grow under the feathers by now, but I suppose each bird is different.

I need better photos.

I need better photos.

Particularly of the combs and saddle feathers.
