Wyandottes - pullets or roos?

Thanks everybody! Two weeks later and there is no doubt about blue and silver.... Cockerel and pullet for sure. Here are pics I took yesterday of my golden. She looks and acts very different from my blue so I still question him/her. I don't see the obvious feathering signs like I do in the other one and her comb and wattle aren't near as big. But... Her black tail sure looks green in the light! Can girls have green tails too? Wishful thinking? My blue laced for comparison. They are the same age, about 14 weeks: Opinions please!

Most of my pullets and hens have a metallic green tail (ETA: well, any that have a black tail). That GLW looks like a pullet to me.

The GLW does look like a pullet to me. I have some columbian wyandottes who have been throwing me off for a while now. For some reason it's taken forever for their tails to grow in! I'm pretty sure at this point that they are both girls though.

With the new pics you posted, she actually looks like a pullet now. Her comb and wattles didn't grow at all since the last pic. I'm gonna have to change my opinion on this one. It's a female.

Thanks! I am convinced now she is a girl, and very happy about that!
