Pullet or Cockerel?

[DumplingTheChicken]

Hi! I’m a new member here at Backyard Chickens. I acquired two Rhode Island Red chicks this spring, and they are now four months old. I was wondering if you experienced chicken keepers can tell the sex of my young ones. I’m fairly certain at least one is a cockerel. The top two photos are of the one I believed to be a cockerel, and the bottom two are the one I thought was (maybe?) a pullet.
Thank you for your help!

Maybe both pullets

Think the one on the right side with bigger wattles, may be a cockerel

I'm guessing both pullets but one may be male.

Looks like ladies to me

I have some 3 month old red production layers which were sexed (sex links) at the hatchery. They look identical to your two birds, so either you have two pullets, or I have five cockerels!
Here's hoping nobody starts to crow...

If you post a thread with some pictures we can help you sex them

You can post your photo at "what breed or gender is this," and the fine folks there will offer their opinion.

Both are PULLETS.

Thank you all so much for your help! I’m relieved to find out they’re probably both pullest, since I live in town and roosters aren’t allowed. However, I have noticed them chest bumping each other with their neck feathers out. Does this mean anything or is this normal pullet behavior? Sorry for all the questions; this is my first time raising chicks.
