They're both cockerels. Guessing around 7-8 months old. One RIR , one Black Austrolorp. They got you, sorry :/
 
I just called the farm I bought them from and am returning them this afternoon. Thanks for the help! It it normal to have 2 of my hens push these boys around? Also I really enjoy this site!
 
If they are new and haven't established themselves as dominant in your flock. Your ladies will push them around. It's nothing wrong with them, but they have no spot in your pecking order, so they will fall in wherever they can. Usually under a dominant hen. It happens all the time. I once had a cock bird that sat on eggs when the hens were away, so don't let anything surprise you.
