Still can’t tell if these are roosters or hens?!

[mintdeer]

I’ve posted about these chickens before and thought I had 4 cockerels and 2 hens. They’re all about 15 or 16ish weeks old now. There’s two obvious hens, two obvious roosters, and then these two which I can’t figure out for the life of me.

i thought they were cockerels due to the tail feathers, combs/wattles, and overall shape. However, they seemed to have stopped growing in their tails, they aren’t curved or colorful. They have no saddle feathers that I can see. They don’t crow and don’t try to mate the hens (the other 2 boys do both) in fact, I’ve seen the 2 roosters trying to mate them!

could they be hens after all? Is everyone just confused? We’re only keeping one roo, and need to get rid of the other soon. If these 2 are boys too I want to get rid of them all at the same time so I’d like to know. Help!

here they are with one of the big roos

I see 2 boys. I'm not sure which you're trying to sex, but in picture 4 the one on the far right is definitely a rooster (I think you know that), but I think the one beside him is a boy too.

Not completely sure but they could just be pullets with big combs, If you have other hens in that breed could I see pics of the ones you don't know what sex they are compared to the hens of the same breed as them?

I’m trying to sex the two with less pronounced tail feathers. So in picture 4, the 2 on the far left that are looking into the bush (the 2 on the right are boys I know for sure!) sorry for the confusion

they were all sold as New Hampshire reds but don’t really look like it, maybe mixes. The two Hens are very light in color they don’t look the same at all!

The 2 in question are pullets.
