I have 2 gorgeous chicks and I need a little help with sexing if possible at 4 weeks old.

The brown is a pekin bantam X I believe in partridge colour? Acting very dominant and brazen (standing up to hens through the pen and challenging the other chick).

The yellow is a serama frizzle, slight pinkish where wattles will grow but completely stumped on this one.

Any help on sexing these 2 would be great even though it's still early days!

Just a wild guess that the partridge one is a cockerel, and the light one is a pullet, although the tail going up leans cockerel.

Adorable whatever they are though!

Try again in a couple of weeks and it might be a little easier.

Thank you, your guess is the same as mine currently! The upright tail is a trait of the Serama breed regardless of gender I believe although it is my first one 🤞
