5 week old sussex chicks, what gender?

We hatched four of these chicks. They are 5 weeks old and all look alike as far as combs and wattles. Is it too early to tell their sex? Thanks.

They look like pullets.

I'm sure that the first one is a pullet but I'm uncertain about the 2nd chick. Can you post more pictures pls?

A Rottweiler (Roxy), a Labrador retriever (Gypsy), 2 breeding turkeys, 7 poults, 3 goats (Charlotte, Tata & Oreo), four ducks, 3 geckos and a yard full of chickens...

Going back home. No internet at the house, so I won't be online as much. Sorry for any RP inconveniences.

It's too early to say that they are absolutely pullets but the two you've pictured don't have any masculine features yet -- which is a good sign if you're hoping for girls.
