I got both of these babies at the beginning of august from a chicken swap. I was told they were 8 weeks old pulletts, which would make them closer to 16 weeks now. They are both still very small and I wonder if they may be bantams. The one I am questioning if it may be a little roo is the brown one. He (or she) looks so much different than the white one, mostly in the tail. What do you all think?

The crest feathers do look pointed but I don't see anything else that would indicate it is male in the plumage. I think it is probably a pullet and those pointy feathers will molt out.

Also, you have two separate breeds here. The red one is a Polish, the white one is a Sultan.

Oh wow I had no idea they were different breeds. That’s so exciting 😁
