Speckled Sussex, 14 weeks, hen or rooster?

[JC551]

I know the bigger one in the first photo with the straight tail is a hen… the one in the second photo looks very different, but not much comb or wattle development-what do you think?

Both look like pullets to me.

 

[cherrynberry]

Both pullets!

 

[Silviaschicks]

Both are pullets

Can you get another photo of the back for the second photo. To me the second photo looks like a cockerel, the tail , the comb and wattles look redder as well.

I agree, 2 gorgeous pullets!

Do you mean a view of the chicken’s back from above? The first of these might help. I don’t have any from behind.

Very confident both are pullets

It’s a pullet, the comb and wattles are small and no saddle feathers. Her facial coloring is darker. She might be a faster maturing pullet.
