Wyandotte ID help

At 18 weeks I would have expected crowing if they were cockerels. They appear to be pullets, in a month or so if they are pullets you should see eggs.

As for colour I am not familiar with them but are lovely we’re did you get them from?

I got my first chickens in March- 4 and 5 month old blue red Lace and Red lace (splash) Wyandottes from a local breeder. 3 are quite broody and I let them hatch 6. They hatched a week apart. Two Splash were identifiable as cockerels by coloring when feathers first came in (confirmed by this group) and their saddles are just now quite noticeable. None have crowed yet.

I will keep them both for awhile longer since I want to keep a rooster.

Should I send another post with genetics questions for a different thread?
