Welsummer sexing

Can you guys take guesses on these 2 for me? I know this is an old post, but maybe someone will chime in! Thanks!

The second one is a pullet, she had the distinct eyeliner and is darker in color. I believe the first is a cockerel, since it’s lighter and the eyeliner isn’t as distinct. Wait for others to chime in, I’m relatively new at this

Wonderful news! The second one hatched from this amazing egg!

They lay beautiful eggs, you’ll be getting more soon enough!

Fun Fact: the Kellogg’s Rooster logo is said to be based on a Welsummer roo

I know welsummers are auto sexing but I'm having a little doubt. I'm guessing I have two pullets and a too, can anyone help me confirm that?
This is the pullet:

And I believe this one is a roo:

I just wanted to update for those that will look here to try and sex their welsummer.
The bird in question was indeed a roo. At almost 5 weeks the chest feathers are coming in dark and the comb and waddles are already in. He is also doing chest bumbs with my 6 wk old silkie roo all day long.
Here are a few pictures of him now:

How does he loo now?
