Just curious if these two are roosters, they're about 6-8 weeks old. I'm sharing two pics of each chicken. They both have higher combs and wattles than the others I have of the same kind. Can hens have wattles too?







Now for the second one...








This last one is supposedly the same breed as the one you folks confirmed of as a rooster, this guy who looks a lot different than the one above to me {I'm a newbie, excuse my ignorance}... so it has me a little baffled if the one above is a rooster too.

Here's a pic of the rooster...




We decided to keep him, I've dubbed him Zorro. Thanks for the help

Look like cockerels to me. Yes hens do get wattles too but theirs don't really develop until a few weeks before laying.
 
Yep, roosters. That's why we usually ask age for sexing. Hens will look like that at about 16ish weeks. This much color and size at this age says boy.
 
What breed are they supposed to be? The top resembles a silver laced wyandotte but has the wrong type of comb and is oddly missing a tail? Maybe he's a late tail bloomer.

About the other two, chicks develop at different rates, just like humans. Your bottom boy is just growing faster than his brother.
 
Thanks everyone. The folks here say silver laced wyandotte and I only shared the very bottom pic of my more solid black ones and folks said australorp, which the other solid black was sold to me as the same breed. The thing with the bottom boy is is that he is at least half, if not more, smaller than all the other ones. He's our runt of the bunch and lanky compared to the others.
