Easter Eggers-Pullets or Cockerels?

This is our first time having Easter Eggers. What do y'all think? Pullets or cockerels?

I'm fairly sure the second one is a cockerel (comb size & redness, plus the dark red feathers in the wing & shoulder areas.)

I'm not sure about the other one. The comb is less big and less pink/red. There are a few reddish feathers in the wing area, but also some in the breast area, so that might just be the coloring of the particular bird rather than a useful indicator of gender.

How old are they? Sometimes that makes it easier to figure out.

Thank you! Sorry, I meant to post that. They are 8-9 weeks.

Hmm. I'm still unsure about the first one. I could see it being a male or a female.

The second one is pretty clearly a male at any age.
