I have two of these gorgeous “Girls” But I am really starting to worry that the darker one is going to go by he/him pronouns? Pearl is the lighter grayish girl, timid and bottom of the pecking order. KyloHen is the darker weighs more than Pearl has a wattel showing up and generally looks different? The darker one is also a bit timid but higher in the pecking order than Pearl. The photos from the weigh ins were this last 8 week birthday, on Wednesday and they both appear to be fully feathered. Sometimes the darker chickens feathers look a little more pointy than the lighter colored chicken.
What do you experts think?

Wyandottes (at least for me) have been more unusual to sex. I think you have two pullets though. The ones I've had be harder to tell are the ones that look more male but really are female. The ones that are male are clearly "MALE" but into I had a few masculine ladies and a cockerel I ran into the other scenario.
