Guess that sex! Speckled Sussex with bright red comb… Rooster?

[Nkim]

Hello everyone,
I raised two speckled sussex chicks this year the same hatch date… They are about 10 weeks old. I kept one and my MIL took one. My mother in law’s comb and wattles are much bigger and redder than the one we have. Any guesses on if the se of these two? (first two picture are of mine and last two are of hers) Thanks everyone!

They are both cockerels. At 9 weeks females would have much smaller, paler combs. They would also have little to no wattle development. Sorry for the bad news.

Yup, the bright red combs and wattles show they are cockerels.

We have two Speckled Sussex cockerels about the same age. A few weeks back we noted one had redder comb and wattles then the other too. Now the other is catching up in size and color. You have some beautiful boys.
