Got 2 S/R Welsummers. Any idea on gender? 4ish weeks old. First 4 pics are one chick, last 4 are the other. Sorry about the pics, phone battery was too low for flash, so I was having to hold them under the lamp in the broader lol.

Welsummers are sexlinked. You can sex them at hatch.

Left is female, right is male. Males don't have good eyestriping and they're slightly greyer.

Yours have good eyestripes, so female.

And, as @oldhenlikesdogs pointed out, male welsummers are black-breasted. I see no black breast feathers, so they are female again.
