Yes, I'm thinking 2 males as well.

I was thinking one was female, hence the pink head coloring. So, guess he will have to live with the name "Pinky."

Nope....'red head' is male .....the other is a hen!

Either vent sex or wait till their a little older....10 to 12 weeks, the hen will develop a pale Buff color on her head. ....I would tell you how I know it's a hen right now....but that would be giving all my secrets away!!!

Hmmm, I will have to look closer the. There is a notable difference that I can hear and that is that the red head does a purrrring or thrill sound. Also, she is smaller than the other
