Help sexing Plymouth buffet rock bantam

This much red comb and wattles at 14 weeks would indicate cockerels in a large breed. But these are bantams which mature much faster. I would expect 14 week old bantam cockerels to be showing saddle feathers and have larger combs. But on the other hand 14 week old pullets typically be this red "signaling point of lay".

I'm going with pullets. I think they would start laying in a 2-3 weeks or so. Which would put them right on track for bantam pullets to start laying "16-20 weeks of age".
 
Is it possible that a neighborhood cockerel could be responsible for the crowing instead of one of your birds? If so, then I think they could be pullets, for the same reasons Gray Farms has already stated.
