Help identifying gender

[vintagequeengf]

These are my first polish chickens and I'm having trouble identifying their gender. They are about 16 weeks old. Neither have made any crowing sounds. I've read a million tips online, but my unfamiliarity with this breed is giving me trouble! Here's a picture.

when asking for assistance with gender, its helpful to get a close head shot of each bird and if possible a few looking down at the back. This will help people see if saddle feathers are present on the back and the head shot helps them see the comb better.

Bowie is a boy too. So it seems that you already guessed their gender, based on the names you have given them?

Welllllll I had a sneaking suspicion they were both male, though I got them as chicks with the intention of having them be egg layers. They are both so sweet and even-tempered I hope to keep both... Thanks for your reply!
