What gender?

[Elitefarm]

I know these two are young and it's close to impossible to tell gender but I thought I'd start this thread and see, these two are bantam Easter eggers, they are about 3 and a half weeks old both act similar no one standing overly tall or acting roosterish. Both had tails and full wings by ten days. Also guesses on colors would be fun no red in their Combs or watles yet
Little Bo Peep

Egglentine

I'm thinking Bo Peep looks to be pullet thus far....all of my bantam EEs with even, gray coloration and silver hackles were female. Time will tell, though!

As far as the Egglentine, it's hard to determine. Guess we shall see.

They're adorable!

Thank you guys, I hope I got two pullets I'm questioning egglentine no matter their genders I'll probably keep both I'm thinking that little Bo Peep is going to look similar to this one
Based on her feather coming in so I'm hoping that's a good sign, Egglentine is a mystery but she is starting to get a little red splashes in her wings which is what's concerning me.

I don't see any red, except from the heat lamp. Depending on what you're seeing, and the quantity, that could be a cockerel, but give it a little bit of time to know for sure.

This is her today to show the red I've just started noticing it (no heat lamp in these pictures)
