No obvious signs of being cockerels yet, so I'll vote pullet for both and cross my fingers for you!

I agree
both pullets at this moment - however, the one closest to the camera has a bit more comb - keep on eye on it.

here is a more recent one from today
They both look like pullets
Not sure what breed they are, but they're not Brahma or Ameraucana. Brahma have feathered legs, which is dominant. Brahma and Ameraucana both have pea combs, which are dominant. Ameraucana have beards/muffs, which are partially dominant. Your pullets have none of those traits.

Thanks for your help
Hum! I wondered why they were looking so different from their mother. I had them at 2 weeks of age and they were with their mother, my mini brahma. I wonder how it can happen and I also wonder what breed they are. Any guesses?
A hen will happily set on any eggs. She has no idea if they're genetically hers, she's just thrilled to have eggs when she's broody. the lady I got my bantam Cochins from used them to hatch out peafowl eggs
. Poor momma never seemed to care that the babies were about as big as her at hatch......
Anyway, they look like good old fashioned barnyard mix. Without knowing what parent breeds are possible, it's going to be hard to say what they are.

Haha! Yes that's my case too, her babies are as big as hers!
They have black skin and legs though, is that a breed particularity except for the silky?
Silkie is by far the most common black skinned bird. But, if it's from a silkie, it's a few generations removed. I'm not seeing any other silkie characteristics like feathered legs, crests/beards, five toes. And the body shape is all wrong for a silkie. They're kind of built like Leghorns, something long and lean. maybe some game bird influence?
