Hallo, all! This is my first time posting, and my first year with chickens of my own. Hopefully the pictures work 
I need help identifying these two blacks, both breed and gender. I picked them up from Rural King at a major discount (they had been there long enough that they were jumping out of their bins!). I've had them for about a month, so I guess they're around 8 weeks old now. They were labeled as Black Australorp, but the bronze feathers coming in have me questioning. #1 has a lot of bronze on the chest and light grey feet, and #2 just has a bit of bronze on the back of the neck, dark grey feet, and weighs a bit less. According to the lady at RK, they only order pullets, so there's only a 10% chance of them being male (and I got all girls in my first batch of 10 this spring), but a roo would be a nice surprise.
Also, enjoy the photobombing Rosie (Buff Orpington) and two Sapphire Gems.
Thanks in advance for any insight!
