Is my Wyandotte pullet a cockerel?

I have 2 ten week old Wyandotte “pullets”. But one has a much larger comb. It doesn’t look like a rooster comb (the same as our roosters of the same age). It has a lot more black on it than it’s sister. I’ve gone and taken pictures of “her” and can’t tell. If anyone has a guessing sex, it would be great. Pullet or Cockerel?

I have also noticed with my wyandottes, all the roosters don’t have tall standing tail feathers. They are all like little roses of feathers and not like other roosters. But this hen has some gnarly tail feathers… But I cannot see a curl?!?
Anyone help would be great.

Wyandottes do tend to color up faster in the combs and waddles than other breeds but that is way too much for a pullet at 10 weeks IMO. Give it a few more weeks and I bet he'll be crowing!
 
This is its sister. She has much less black.

I’ll double check. It may be older than 10weeks. Why is it’s tail like the hens tails and not the roosters then?
 
The wattles look quite large for a 10 week old wyandotte, my 10 week old wyandotte's wattles are smaller. The neck feathers also seem pointy. You should wait for other people's input before deciding.
 
These are my splash roosters at the same age. The BLR is heavier then them but not as tall (I haven’t weighed them, it just looks more bulky.)
