Temperature affects comb color and size. My ladies are pale and small when cold and deep red and large when warm. It's 50 at my home today and they're combs are big. I looked back at my photos of my girls at the same age as yours and there's not much difference but keep in mind different breeds, different combs. So many variables. I think some males would be attempting crowing by now. Do you have any tries? I don't believe in stating in a one word sentence that you have a male or female. I believe in learning and doing the research and it will help you in the long run. Let me know how it goes.

Those are definitely males.

I don’t know that it really effects their combs when they are growing. I have had some of my hens’ combs get smaller and fade when it’s cold and larger and more vibrant when it’s warm, as well, but I don’t think it effects growing chicks. Cockerels also don’t have a set time or date to start crowing. They crow when they are ready, just the same as hens laying eggs. I have had many late crowers.

Both are cockerels.

Plus the fact that the first one has very clear male saddles.

At that age, they are both 100% cockerels.
