Welsummer cockerels??

[Splatters]

Hi all. I’m guessing these two 4 month old chicks are cockerels? Just checking before I give them away. I am new to Welsummers.

They look like pullets. At 4 months old, cockerels would be easy to spot with bright red combs and wattles and probably some male specific feathering.

I think pullets. Nice light pink comb. There would be some great tail feathers and colours around 4 months.

The roosters are gorgeous and really colourful. Beautiful birds

Pretty pullets!

Baby in last two pictures is likely a cockerel. Note noticeable patchiness in his breast (both genders of this breed feather in differently). The other's looking pullet.

ETA: are you sure they're 4 months? Both look significantly younger, hence why I guessed cockerel on the first. If indeed specified age, chook #2 can't be a Welsummer, as this is the wrong coloration for a female.

x3, they look much younger than 4 months old.

None of them look like Welsummers to me. At 4 months, male Welsummers should have an obvious black breast and females a salmon breast and gold hackles.

Too young. Post pics of their combs at 6 weeks.

They are 15 weeks old. Hatched 1st Nov. I bought them from a breeder, but maybe they are not Welsummers?
