Hello! I got these 2 bantams at about 4 weeks old and the guy that gave them to me couldn't tell if they were male or female. The black one is a bantam Frizzle and the amber one is a D'Uccle Mille Fleur. Now they are about 8-9 weeks old and I'm hoping you can help me determine if they are Roos or Hens. Thanks!

Is that because their combs are turning pinkish/red? The Frizzle has a tiny red waddle, but the Mille Fleur doesn't, still holding out hope that one might be a girl!
 
I've read the the d'Uccle's develop their combs at an early age. Mine (about 8-9 weeks as well) looks very similar to yours and I believe she is a pullet. I've seen so many pics on here wear the d'Uccle's of similar age have twice the size of comb as mine. I also have a couple frizzle cochin that have small combs, but one has a big roo attitude
