The bars on a hen become wider and further apart as they leave and turn into a more solid pattern. The bars get more narrow and thicker in a cocks pattern. Spaulding will mess with the best of guesses, but when you see multi bars on a feather that usually means cock.

See how thick the black bars are on this hen and how it is turning solid in color? That.

I agree, one boy and one girl.

Ok, noticed today that the "hen", bird #2 is getting green on the neck and in the crest. Is that correct for a hen? Again, this one is bigger than the other that is thought to be a cock. Which is why I originally thought she wasn't a hen. But has way less barring than the other and darker.

Can you post more pictures of #2?

 

[Ahavati]

Here is the green. Ill take that one outside now and get a better daylight shot of it.

Here was earlier, she obviously is more solid which indicates hen I thought. You can see size difference. I'm wondering if the other is a week or two younger. He had them in a pen and said they were 4-6 weeks old art the time. They're about 8-10 weeks now, I need to check. I'm happy with 1 male at least, that's all I wanted. So a pair is great.

Sounds like a hen to me.
