I think both are cockerels, too. Lots of comb development and color for 8 weeks.

It looks like a Rouen to me, but it would help if you told us the source of the bird. Local farm, store or hatchery? And if from a hatchery, which one?

Bresse are a pretty rare breed, but the left one could be one if the place you bought them from carries American Bresse. The other white one could be a white Jersey Giant. The big red one does look like a meat bird with its broad breast. Ginger broilers or red rangers are two types I can think...

Yeah, that's a cockerel. The comb is big and colorful at an early age.

There are two different types of Cinnamon Queens. One type is red and white, like typical red sex links. The other type is a Rhode Island red male over silver laced Wyandotte female. That type doesn't have the white but is mostly red with a little black ticking here and there. That is probably...

It's up to you, but I would. 14 weeks or not, if they were sold as guaranteed pullets then they should at least refund your money.

I would contact TSC and see if they'll at least give a refund.

I agree with Rose. It's an Easter egger cockerel.

Silkies are known for taking a long time to tell gender. Part of it is the dark skin, part of it is the unusual comb. The only thing you can really do is watch the combs. Small, flat combs are what you want in pullets. Combs showing significant height or that look swollen before, say, 14 weeks...

How cute. She's a spangled old English game bantam pullet.

Yes, he's a cockerel. The comb is large and it's getting some color. At 8 weeks, that usually means you've got a male.

They're a little too young to call yet for sure, but their combs are pretty colorful for that age. So they may well be cockerels. I'd give it a while longer to be sure, though. Unfortunately, black and white coloring is usually associated with male Easter eggers. Not always, but usually.

I wish I could see its comb clearly. If it's a single comb it could be a double laced Barnevelder. But if it has the Wyandotte rose comb, then it probably is a darker partridge Wyandotte. Hatchery stock can be quite variable in color for the same variety.

It is definitely a cockerel, and I think it's probably what they are calling an Ameraucana but which is actually an Easter egger. Either that or a Whiting True Blue, which is a brand name for a slightly different type of Easter egger.

You're welcome!

Pictures 1, 2 and 4 show Sapphire Gem cockerels. SGs will always be blue with barring and won't have other colors mixed in, nor will they have any crest feathers. Pictures 3 and 6, plus the thumbnail picture at the end, show Legbar crosses. I'm not sure if Legbars are used in making Sapphire...

Probably a blue cuckoo Marans or maybe an olive egger. It's not a barred rock, which wouldn't have any blue coloring.

Some people say it can be done. If you use the search button and check under 'taming aggressive roosters' or things like that you will probably find a link to the posts about it on here. There are also videos out there, so it's worth checking Youtube! as well. I would act quickly because even...

I think they are mixed breeds. That's what you usually get from a barnyard flock. The first one might be part Leghorn. The second, maybe part Australorp. It will be easier to tell from weight and body shape when they're all grown up.

He looks to me to be some kind of game fowl or game fowl mix. For your own safety, and the safety of anyone else who comes in contact with him, I think you should get rid of him. He has already started behaving aggressively toward you and it will only get worse with time.
