Welsummer: Pullets or cockerels???

[Henn12]

Hi! I have 3 welsummer pullets that are 10 weeks old. I’m pretty sure they are all pullets but some input on here would be great to confirm.

I see pullets. Males color out differently with black on their chests.

Normally with pure welsummers you can tell when they are born by the dark stripe that runs through the eye and the black triangle on their head, how dark it is, a males would be lighter. At 10 weeks I would have to defer to the earlier poster about the black on the chest...Hope this helps you going forward and by the way, welcome to BYC...

Coloring indicates that all three are pullets as suggested by @oldhenlikesdogs.

Thank you! They all had the dark triangle on their heads as chicks. Appreciate the input.

As the previous posters stated, you have a group of stunning pullets. Cockerels display red and black plumage at this age.
