Weird tail feathers on 12 week olds: cockerel or pullet?

[loyalcrowlist]

I have two BYM chicks that are 12 weeks old and based on their combs and wattles, I've been thinking they're pullets. But the tail feathers are really tripping me up and making me question that. I'm probably going to have to rehome them and I'd just like to know one way or the other before I do so. Do they just have odd tails due to being BYM or am I missing other obvious signs of them being cockerels?

For 12 weeks they look like pullets to me. I'd ignore tail feathers unless I hear a crow.

First looks like a pullet to me. Second looks like a cockerel.

Both are pullets. Tail feathers are not an accurate indicator of the sex.

That's kind of what I thought but I'm still pretty new to sexing chickens so I really appreciate the input!

Pullets

Pullets * tail is normal, looks like they've gone thru a baby molt

I think the first one is a Pullet but I’m not sure on the second one.
