Are my D’uccle Bantams Roosters or hens?

[Kristen Spohn]

I have some 4 month old D’uccles Bantams. I’m wondering if they are cockerels or pullets?

Not 100% positive, but the first one looks like it has cockerel saddle feathers to me? The second one looks more like a pullet.

FYI.....semantics, maybe, but can be important communication terms when discussing chicken behavior.
Female chickens are called pullets until one year of age, then they are called hens.
Male chickens are called cockerels until one year of age, then they are called cocks(or cockbirds or roosters).
Age in weeks or months is always a good thing to note.

The only one that may be a pullet is the last one. The other 2 look like cockerels.
