Golden Sebright Bantys- hens or roos?

[Jerinthefarmer]

I have two 6 week old bantams that I believe are golden Sebrights. I'm new to bantams and having a hard time telling the sex of my two. They're pretty much identical birds, aside from the comb development and tails.

Bantam #1:

Bantam #2:

Sorry I thought I put that in there. They are 6 week olds

They both look like pullets

I thought so too at first, but is there a reason that their combs look different? They're the same breed as far as I can tell

The second bird has a single comb (disqualification for show) rather than a rose comb. Sebrights can be difficult to gender identify until older as both cockerels and pullets are hen feathered.

About how old do they need to be to distinguish

For me the 'for sure' is when cockerels start to crow.

I have already heard a little tiny crow twice from my brooder. I have 7 chickens, I can tell that all my full sized chicks are pullets. So im guessing the crow in question came from one of these bantams. I was shocked, I have never heard a chick crow so young
