Are these what I think they are?

No idea unfortunately. I'm guessing 6 weeks. Either the guy was wrong or my mom misunderstood and thought they're adults but obvious to me and everyone here they're not.
 
I agree on the blue cockerel; it's probably a Malay mix. FOBish... haven't heard that since I moved off the coast...
I thought I could provide a better understanding of what type of person we got the birds from if they themselves were caring for the birds in an unorthodox way or didn't know the age or breed. Its origins are controversial but I'm Asian so we can reclaim the term lol.

my mom has randomly brought home two chickens...I went to Google and I think the small brown one is a rhode island red (it's got some black on its tail) while the other is a splashed laced red wyndotte? Or is it blue? It's got really long legs lol.

Not sold but literally picked off from some fobish Cambodian guy's farm. We're also Cambodian (Southeast Asian). Apparently he had dozens all over and just gave two to my mom.
The brown one doesn't look quite like a Rhode Island Red to me; I would expect a Rhode Island Red to be a darker red than that.

It might be some kind of a mix, rather than belonging to any specific breed.

I see! any idea what it could be mixed with?

I appreciate any input. I might want to add but breed isn't too important I just want to know if I should accommodate in any way specific to them in the end I just love to learn lol.

The brown chicken should not need any accommodation.
I don't know for sure about the long-legged one.

In the USA, where I live, it is common for people to buy chicks from hatcheries. Those chicks usually belong to one or another breed. "Mixed breed" chickens are often a mix of just two or three breeds, descended from ones that were bought from hatcheries as chicks.

In some other countries, most chickens are descended from other chickens with almost no purebreds in sight. The chickens aren't really a mix of breeds, it's more that they were never divided and selectively bred into breeds at all.

I don't know how it is in your country, to know whether that chick is likely to be a mix of Rhode Island Red and something (I don't know what other breed), or whether it's just a brown chicken whose ancestors never did belong to any particular breed.
 
Once again, my mom has randomly brought home two chickens so now we have a total of 12. I currently have them separated in a large space underneath the coop attached to the run. Looking at them and hearing them chirp, I can assume they're 6 weeks old? My knowledge of breeds only goes as far as the ones I already have so I went to Google and I think the small brown one is a rhode island red (it's got some black on its tail) while the other is a splashed laced red wyndotte? Or is it blue? It's got really long legs lol.

I also hope they're both girls but might be too early to tell?
The red one appears to be a Production Red Cockerel. The blue looks like either a Modern Game cross, or possibly some sort of oriental mix.

Posture seems wrong for Shamo, or Aseel. Could be mixed with one of these, as a possibility.
 
Thank you all for your input!

Does anyone here know why the blue one may be vibrating it's tail? And I'm not talking about the usual swishing side to side. It's more noticeable when it's sitting down.
