Which is the rooster?

[mar]

I have two Colombian wyandottes. One of them is crowing. Can you help me figure out which one? Also will the other one be a boy too. Crossing my fingers for at least one girl.

Not sure how old they are, but the one on the right looks like a cockerel. The other Columbian pictured also looks like it could be a cockerel as they look fairly young. Just my guess. How old are they? Multiple photos with different angles would be helpful for the middle one.

They are nine weeks old. They came from the same batch.

Here are some more. She is in front. This is my second try with Colombian wyandottes. My last one was a roo too. That’s why i got two.

The one on the right in the first pic is a cockerel

In all the pictures attached, your cockerel is on the right. Pretty little guy!

So do you think the other one is a pullet? I’m hoping for one girl.

As others have stated the bird with the pinker comb is a cockerel. The second may also be a cockerel.

Do you think if the other one hasn’t started crowing by the time she is 16 weeks that I’ll be in the clear? I’m really hoping it’s a pullet.

I think by 16 weeks you will know based on hackle/saddle feathers as well. I don't think you can depend upon crowing as a submissive cockerel may not crow if a more dominant cockerel is present, but that's only based upon what I have read. I have no real life experience.
