Any ideas?

These 2 light Sussex bantams are now 6 weeks old. Do you think they are Male?? I have a feeling they might be but hoping they are not and suggestions welcome.

Yeah. They're both roosters.

looks like pullets but check to see if they have spurs

They're roosters. And they won't have spurs yet.

Nice pair of cockerels

Just a note. Spurs aren’t indicative of sex.

Particularly not at this age. I remember once thinking I had all roosters because I looked and saw little bumps where spurs could grow. But hens can grow spurs.

They look like roos (cockerels) because of the red comb/wattle development. I think only the boys get that at such a young age. Two good looking birds for sure!

Hard to tell. The combs make me think Cockerel, but the saddle feathers look short and wider like a pullet. Either way, those are beautiful birds.

None of that will indicate sex this young. At this age you look at comb/wattle development and color. Both are cockerels.

Gender specific hackle and saddle feathers don't grow in until 3-4 months.
