    I am usually optimistic and assume everyone is a pullet. The second bird, however, has rather roosterish looking feathering and the first has remarkably sturdy legs for a pullet. Neither one has much in the way of waddles or comb to suggest roosterhood. Do you have pullets the same age to compare?
