I’ve been sure they’re both cockerel, but one has me guessing.

These lil ones were hatched from a group of B/Bl/sp copper marans eggs on April 23rd. They’re almost 13 weeks.
I’ve thought both of the blue ones were Roos from early on bc of the combs and wattles. The lighter blue got a little copper starting on his shoulders several weeks ago.
The darker blue bird has not developed shoulder redness.
They’re similar sizes. Both combs and wattles are similar sizes and a dark pink. Neither has crowed.
Do I have two guys? Or do I just need to be patient?
I need to rehome some of my flock - but don’t want to until I until I know, for sure, who is in my flock. 🤔

Tricky....I'm leaning towards both being cockerels too, and I may be seeing the start of male specific feathering on both but I'm not sure. I'd wait a bit longer just to be safe 'cause I'm on the fence too

Thanks 😊
I think both are cockerels because they are so similar to each other in every way. The darker one is just a bit slower on the draw than the other. But yes, be patient for a while longer to be sure.
thanks 😊
