5 Weeks Old Gender & Breed Help?

[Shadow3]

Hello! It's that time again. They have grown so big for just a month old (and a week). What do you think the breeds and genders are? I have had so many people say they were roos at 2 weeks yet the person I got them from still says he believes they are hens and also said to expect fast growth because they are "designer" chickens. Whatever that means....Their wattles are starting to show just a tiny bit now.

Thanks for your help!

4 weeks old? They look like cockerels to me.

Yeah, I was shocked about the growth. Correction 5 weeks old but still

I'll say roos given the wattles at such a young age, but wait for confirmation from others that are more experienced.

Not sure on breeds, but both are definitely cockerels
