Help me sex my chicken. :)

Hi folks!

I'm new here and new to the chicken world. I recently adopted two chicks and I'm not quite sure the sex of one of them. I know the white color one is a pullet, but I'm unsure of the darker colored one. I have more pictures. The sex of this one is really throwing me off. My best guess is that these chickens are about 7-9 weeks of age. Any ideas? Thank you all in advanced.

Here is another photo.

Very small comb, barely there. No visible saddle feathers coming through. This one is throwing me off. I can't have a rooster where I live, but I'm fearful that "Buzz Jr" might be one.

IMO I'd say pullet - no obvious redness of the comb, and the hackle feathers look rounded. Posture also suggests the same (to me, at least).

Thanks CTKen.

I sincerely hope it's a pullet. I'm so in love with these two already.

Woohoo, on that note: Let me welcome my two girls, Peepers and Buzz Jr.

Again, thanks so much. I'm so in love with them. I work at an animal sanctuary. There, we have a few roaming hens and roosters that people have dropped off (for whatever reasons)... My team and I care and feed these guys and gals. About 7-8 weeks ago, 7 chicks appeared. I was lucky enough to adopt these two. The others have been adopted out as well. I'm so thankful.
