cockeral or pullet?

sorry that the pictures are not the easiest to see the comb on, due to the flash, but maybe somebody can help me figure out wether they are pullets or cockerals? Their combs look identical to me. They are both banty cochins.

I think they are a little too young to tell. Give them a couple weeks.
Get good pictures of their combs and a side shot. Sometimes the shape of the feathers will give the sex away.

at what age should I be able to tell? I am REALLY hoping for hens as I have a nice rooster already, and don't need another.

You should have a pretty good idea at about 5-6 weeks of age. Although for some individual chicks it can be a real guessing game right up until they either crow or lay an egg.
