3 month Bantam Cochins - help with sexing

[Ceeej123]

This is Buttercup (the buff) and Kiwi (the black one).
We are pretty sure Buttercup is a hen. Thoughts?
Kiwi looked like he/she was getting a little rooster-like a few weeks ago, but all of that development has since stopped and now we're thinking hen? Maybe? Thoughts?

It's hard to get a good pic of Kiwi....that one is a ham with the camera as you can tell by that super close up! Any thoughts on gender here would be helpful as I am fairly new to being a chicken mamma!!

Thank you all!

I should also probably note that neither of them stand "upright" like roosters do. They are squatty.

The black one is a touch suspicious, but at 3 months my males were all way more developed. The buff is a pretty Pullet.

Thank you. I have to agree. My initial thoughts that Kiwi was a cockerel are diminishing. I'm sure hoping they are BOTH pullets!

The buff one is definitely a pullet, and I think the black one is, too.

Good afternoon, I am also having trouble telling whether this is a male or female. Was told at pet shop was about 3 months old and female. Stands more upright than my other hen. Help much appreciated.
Thank you.

I am sure Buttercup is a pullets, but I believe Kiwi is a Roo. My Roos comb pinked up early then it appears nothing is happening then I notice red hackles feathers coming in. With you breed you may not get red feathers... but I still think she's a he... sorry.
