1 is a cockerel, sorry, but at least you're right!
2 its hard to tell because I would look at the wings/shoulder area and the chest and comb. I can't really see much of any of those things that sneaky little bird. I like that there are only two birds per post! Makes it easy to follow/reply.
oh, do you have a link to those pictures? If you go to your post and click the little blue colored numbers on the right top corner of that individual post, once it reloads, copy and paste the address bar.
