I have two chicks from an ebay hatch. One I think is a cockerel and the other a pullet but I am very inexperienced with this. Any opinions?

I think this guy is a cockerel due to him feathering slower than the other and the size and color of his comb?:



Thinking this is a pullet because of dark comb, faster feathering, and more pronounced tail:



Here they are together for comparison:



Whatchyall' think?

Very likely a cockerel and a pullet.

You almost certainly have a cockerel. But, it's too early to tell whether the other chick is a pullet, or just a slower developing male.

I just noticed that the one I think is the cockerel is starting to get the copper colored feathers across its shoulders (its saddle?) Anyways, here's his (or at least I think its "HIS") first splotches of color:
