What’s the sex of my two teen chickens?

Hi everyone, I’m Sage and I’m from Australia . I bought one coronation Sussex and one double silver laced Barnevelder from someone a few weeks ago. At the time I bought them 13/10/19, he said they were both about 6 weeks old. I disagree as they were quite small (I will attach some photos) and the Sussex is larger than the Barnevelder which makes me think the Barnevelder is not 6 weeks. By what the man has said, they’d be 9 weeks old now. Any ideas on age. He sold them both to me as pullets but just want some confirmation and some other opinions. I think the Sussex is a pullet due to body shape, feathers and attitude but I am bit unsure about Barnevelder due to the comb. I’m usually an expert in sexing others but can never sex mine!
Here’s some picture of them at the time I bought them.

Photos of them today (sorry for not the best picture, they are very scared of me and it is very difficult to catch them.

Also, I just wanted to share one of my australorp pullets which was about 4 weeks old when this photo was taken (she is now laying) and I definitely thought she was a he! She had the biggest comb before all the boys.

If this helps, here are images of the double silver laced Barnevelders from the same person I bought the ones I have now. They were both boys.

You might have to wait a bit on the Barnevelder. The males usually have more black around the neck when they are older. I would say too young to tell...

Thanks, how about the coronation Sussex?

Unfortunately I will have to defer on that one to someone who has more experience with the breed..

Beautiful birds though..

Both look like pullets to me. 9 weeks seems right. Nice Sussex by the way

Thanks, she is really pretty. Do you think the Barnevelder is too small to be 9 weeks old?

The Sussex looks like a pullet to me, but I'm unsure on the Barnevelder. Pretty birds though.

Just looked at pictures of it’s parents and the males actually have more white around the neck and females have little to none, so black for females.
