New easter egger bantams

[chickenmatt84]

Hi all, new to back yard chickens. I have 2 EE bantams that are almost 4 weeks old, unsexed. One is all black, and one is yellow but now developing a brown pattern on the feathers.
My biggest curiosity is what sex these are as I can't keep rooster's where I live. The black one is smaller, smaller legs, but the behavior acts like a roo. Stands up straight and sticks head up constantly. Will always fly onto my hand when I stick it in the brooder. The yellow one is always the follower to the black one. So only when the black one comes out, does the yellow one want to come out. So to me the black one acts like a roo and the yellow one behaves like a hen.
The yellow one squats more where the black one stands up and stretches. The yellow one is bigger and has bigger legs. Physically, not looking at feathers because I can't read those, the yellow one is bigger, bigger legs, which would lean more roo, while the black one is more petite.

Welcome to BYC!!! Unfortunately, your sweeties are still too young to tell. Give it about another 4 weeks or so and we'll be able to tell, but I can say that at this point, there's nothing screaming cockerel about either of them.

Welcome to BYC!
they are still a little to young to sex, but if you post some more close up pics of the comb We might be able to make a guess. Have fun with those two, Pullets hopefully

Many warm welcomes to BYC!

It's still a bit early....but as Frazz, said, there aren't any features screaming cockerel. So cute!

Thanks everyone!
I tried getting some close ups of their combs but they weren't cooperating well to get a picture that wasn't blury. I managed to get an ok one of the black one. It looks almost like tiny feathers starting to grow on the middle of the comb. No red or pink on either though.

They look like pullets at this point
