Could anyone tell me what they think the two above pictures are? The one with my face it has more of a comb. It looks pinkish and Dorothy doesn't have that much growth.

I think that it is likely, that they are both males. You can post more photos at around 8 weeks. It will be easier to identify gender then.

Even though they are supposed to pullets?

Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.

Vent sexing chicks is rarely 100% guaranteed. The one with the pinker comb is almost certainly a cockerel. I remain undecided on the second.

I would like to keep one rooster if possible, I'll have to get better pictures of them. They are turning into beautiful birds. I got them as kinda a hobby and to get me outside more when they make their way outside. I have enjoyed learning a little bit about different breeds of chickens. The place I got mine from had Gold Phoenix, Silver Phoenix, and Yokohama last week.

Welcome to BackYard Chickens. The Best of Luck with your Flock! Thank's for sharing the picture's. And a Big Hello from Eastern Nebraska.

Good morning, and welcome to BYC. Free standing, profile pictures are best for gender ID. I believe that the first bird is a cockerel and for now the second is a pullet.

I appreciate everyone's input. I put zip ties on them to tell them apart. The only one that doesn't have anything is Dorothy. My husband was helping me with them. Two of them definitely have bigger combs. Dorothy and one other one are relatively friendly and I can hold them without so much fuss.
