What are we?
I think these two are about 15 weeks old now, maybe it's just my confirmation bias, but I'm beginning to hope that I may have two pullets. What do you all think?

Re: What are we?
I think the blue is a pullet, not sure with the other bird but would guess pullet as well. Good luck!

I think both beautiful. probably pullets.
Here is my Nanette at 5 weeks. Was told she was a pullet and she certainly acts like one!

Re: What are we?
So hard to tell with Brabanters...the muffs and headdress hide the telltale signs

Re: What are we?
I think both look to be pullets, but I keep waffling on the Brabanter, so I won't put money on it I would think there would be someone trying to crow by now though if there was a cockerel hiding in there, so fingers crossed both are pullets!

Re: What are we?
Thanks everyone, for the feedback. I'm still hopeful that both are pullets too.
Sorry, I need to correct my original post where I said they were about 15 weeks old: I just did a proper calculation of how many weeks old they actually are, and it turns out that they are more like 11+ weeks old.
@windwalkingwolf , I keep waffling on the Brabanter too. I guess time will tell. I pretty much breathed a sigh of relief that the blue Ameraucana/Brabanter cross was a pullet about two weeks ago.

Re: What are we?
i think they're both pullets. the legs on the brabanter aren't that thick and I don't see any reddish anythings on the shoulders....i have to say i love the headdress LOL.
