What Sex Are These Welsummer Chicks ?

We got 2 Welsummer chicks from the feed store (supplied via Privett) and we're wondering if one is a male. What do you think?

They are about 3 weeks old:

At this point in time I'd guess the one on the right is a roo, but it's hard to tell at this age. My welsummer roos did develop their combs pretty early.

Okay I am a total newbie at this, but I think the one on the right looks like he has a bigger comb, could he possibly be a roo.

To me the one on the right is a roo, but its early to be definite. Pretty chicks tho.

I would also keep an eye on the one on the right. In addition to the larger comb, the breast feathers look like they might be coming in darker. Are they feathering out at the same pace?

I'm going with pullet on the left, cockerel on the right

An update... I think we're pretty sure he's a roo. The side by side really helps!

Off to another home he goes!

Yep, I saw the first pic and left is a pullet and right is the roo....look at the chest feathers and combs.......

Beautiful!
