So we have 2x 5 week old jap bantams.
I’m pretty sure both are boys, but please confirm?

Photo 1-2 is first chick (unsure, but slow feathering to me says boy. But comb isn’t as prominent as second so not sure)
Photo 3-4 is second chick (pretty confident boy)

1st one looks kinda like a pullet, second looks like a rooster
 
The first has a very pale, flat comb which makes me think pullet but it could change
So I just wanted to give you an update as this thread popped up on my home page.
Both turned out to be boys. Everyone thought the pullet looking one was a girl (me included. No crowing etc!) until its juvie moult.. and out came the boy feathers 😂😂
