Hello, I'm new here. My house got 3 hens and already 7 months old. But a few days ago my friend's sister gave us 2 chickens 4 months. She said they're boys but when she show me the photos I noticed the comb quite small. So I showed to my mum and we decided to have them with hope they're girls. At first we were thinking to get just one but when look at them and we're feel sorry especially black/red one got bullied by older hens. So we decided to have 2 of them. From what I noticed at 4 months old they're very small. Even smaller than our hens. Their personality also very clam and attached to humans. From what I heard they were use to with my friend's sister's daughter since they got them from school just a day old. I tried to google and find pictures to see the difference between male and female. From what I noticed with these 2 chickens, they have smaller comb I couldn't see the saddle visibly but I'm not experts so unsure. Their tails not curve down. Their neck have pointy feathers. Here's the pictures of them. The picture with black and white hens are our 7 months oldhens and we have 3 of them. I was able to took just 2 because the other one went to laying egg. Can anyone please help to identify if they're boys or girls. I feel sorry for them.

Those are indeed two cockerels.
Thank you but can you please tell me how to look? I saw that they're quite small for 4 months (16 weeks) plus the combs also small. So I was assuming that they're might be girls with (dreaming to be girls). Is it tails? I can't see saddle (?). Thank you for reply 🙏🙏
 
They have the start of pointed saddle feathers and the rust color coming in on the dark one is also male specific.
Ahhh I see... my wishful thinking with hope they're girls crumble. I'll have to find some place for them later on. They're just too attached towards human and really doesn't act like rooster at all. Got bullied by adult hens and now act like scaredy-cat doesn't act like rooster. And smaller than our hens too. Need to find a really good place for them. Thank you very much for explaining to me.
