These are Bantams but I don’t know what kind. What breed are they?

Are the birds pictured here male or female and what kind? All I know is they are bantams.
Their tale sticking up so sharp makes me think males but they don’t crow unlike the 7 other boys I have. I don’t know much about these birds or what to expect.

They look like Americana bantams. I have three of them and they are a very sweet bird. I can’t tell you for sure if they are male of female but they look like a female.

Do they lay smaller eggs than my big normal birds will lay?
do they take longer to start laying or about the same?
(I’m new to the whole chicken biz haha)
 
Looks like silver or golden duckwing old English game bantams to me. I have never actually raised these, but I know someone who does. Your pictures look a lot like the birds my friend raises.
While they look similar, OEGB have red earlobes, vs the white of these two. That's what makes me think Dutch Bantams, very, very similar looking!
